People often have great difficulty engaging in open and honest dialogue about 
occasions of disparities in levels of:

Risk              Invulnerability
Poverty           Wealth
Vulnerability     Invulnerability
Insecurity        Security
Danger            Safety
Impotence         Power
Rejection         Exclusivity
Damnation         Salvation
Slavery           Being-in-Control
Decay             Luxuries
Destruction       Integrations
Disintegration    Authenticity
Disease           Full-Health-Care

To facilitate the Open-and-Honest-Dialogue which is essential to the Mitigation-
of-Alienative-Conflicts, we need to Mitigate-the-Presence of the above disparities.

We Must-Not-Wait until Alienative-Conflict are generating overt-and-tragic: Violence,
Coercion, Distrust and Alienation - - - before we become committed to Mitigating-Our-
Own-Alienative-Conflicts.

Good-Health-Care is not possible in the absence of Gracious-Steps in efforts to 
prevent: Injuries, Infections, Malnutrition, Alienation, Neglect, Indifference,
Insensitivity, Terrors, Anxieties, Worries, etc.

Similarly the best steps toward the Mitigation-of-Alienative-Conflicts are steps to
mitigate existing alienation; including:

 1. Avoiding-Ignorance about how-to-respond-Graciously to Domineering-Bullies and
    Mobbing-Mobsters - - - before such people have become overtly coercive, violent, 
    destructive, etc.

 2. Avoiding-Negligence about Seeking-to-Understand the many aspects of Graciously-
    Managing our OWN: Scarce-Resources, Priorities, Anger, Frustrations, Resentments,
    Ignorance, Prejudices, Confusions, Emotions, Reflexes, Habits, Traditions and 
    Our-Parts of Our-Relationships.
 
 3. Avoiding-Thinking-of-Ourselves as Being: Superior, Perfect, Pure, Privileged,
    Special, Entitled, In-Charge, Dominant, Invulnerable, Risk-Free, etc.

 4. Avoid the Alienative-traps of: Egotism, Greed, Pride, Covetousness, Arrogance,
    Hubris, Insensitivity, and Myths-Affirming-Redemptive: Violence, Controls, and
    Domination by our Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception.

The above essential insights need to be taught and learned in grade-school-classes 
and on play-grounds!

We need to teach our children to respect NEITHER the Alienative-Behaviors of 
Domineering Bullies/Mobbing-Mobsters NOR their Concentrations-of-Wealth-and-
Powers - - - which they Gain-and-Control in Alienative-Ways which undermine our
Personal-and-Communal    Integration-Processes   and   Present-Integrities.
