To Be-Truly-Humane in Shalom's-Ways-of-LOVE   we must learn-together how to  Share-our-own "Grounds-for-Hope"

Letting-Go of our Domineering-Bullies' Life-Styles with their Dishonest-and-Disintegrative "Grounds-for-Hope"



                                       CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING GROUNDS FOR HOPE:

Being-Invulnerable   Being-Secure      Being-Safe           Being-In-Charge       Being-Forcefully-United    

Being-Charged-Up     Being-Excited     Being-Enthusiastic   Being-Committed       Being-In-Covenants
 
Being-Sure           Being-Absolute    Being-Tenacious      Being-Self-Confident  Being-EGO-Centered

Being-Domineering    Being-In-Control  Being-Invulnerable   Being-Superior        Being-Pure   Being-Conformed

Exponential-Growth   More-Than-Enough  Hoarding-More        Assumptions           Prejudices   Biases    

Being-Resolute       Being-Determined  Building-Forts       Fortresses            Luxuries     Excesses   

Thoughtlessness      Greed             EGOtism              Self-Centeredness     Violence     Wars            

Terrorists           Individualism     Isolationism         Alienative-Conflicts  Arrogance    Hubris   

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

As-True-Lovers-Do, SO ALSO we need to learn how to Openly-and-Honestly share our own TRUE:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Feelings             Desires           Needs                Vulnerabilities       Fears        Anxieties     

Repressions          Depressions       Assumptions          Approaches            Expectations Anxieties    

Terrors              Repressions       Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception USED  To-Conceal-our-lack-of-Love.

Being-Together-In-Communal Sanctuaries for-ALL    who are interested in exploring     Being-There.

Open-and-Honest-Dialogues     WHILE    Being-Together-in-All-Kind-Kinds     of        Intimate-Relationships.
