 %INTIMACY HONESTY VIOLENCE ALIENATION INTERRELATED 080601
 %CLARIFYING RELATIONSHIPS DOMINEERING BULLIES LOVE 080601

It helps below if you THINK-VERY-CAREFULLY about what  you
read, and about how most helpfully to respond to what  you
read. NOT-THINKING  is dangerous  in many situations, such
as here below.

Intimacy-and-Honesty are constructively inter-related.

Violence-and-Alienation  are destructively inter-related.

The  above inter-relationships are inter-related;  within-
the-two-contrasting kinds-of-associations;  i.e., in being
DIS-ASSOCIATED from each other in most instances.

The   above  inter-relationships  are  also   related   to
clarifying  the  relationships between Domineering-Bullies
and  True-Lovers ---  who rarely understand each other  at
all well --- and so they are rarely able to cooperate with
each other at all well.

Integrative forms of Intimacy-and-Honesty  are  positively
related to each other.

Disintegrative   forms   of  Violence-and-Alienation   are
negatively related to each other.

The  Diverse-Foci of Intimacy-and-Honesty are relevant  in
the above considerations; e.g.,  as regards perceiving and
understanding  the roles of the following in our  personal
and communal lives;

 1.  Collusive Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception,

 2.  Limited   Global-Natural-Resources  for  our  Global-
Populations to consume;

 3.  Human Limitations-and-Foibles,

 4.  Human Desires-and-Fears  regarding greater  Intimacy-
and-Honesty,

 5.  Human  Desires-and-Fears regarding  greater Violence-
and-Alienation.

The ways in which Domineering-Bullies fear True-Lovers and

The  Ways in which True-Lovers  fear  Domineering-Bullies;
which are different and relevant to each other.

We  need  to become aware of,  acknowledge,   clarify  and
transcend both kinds of fears.

Such  FEARS are neither good-leaders nor  good-motivators.
They are not worthy of trust, respect or support.

Long  traditions  of trusting,  respecting and  supporting
SUCH FEARS --- need to be transcended.

We   need  to  create  new  integrative   traditions   and
perspectives.

     Be-Together in the Many-Gracious Ways of Shalom.
