People who are generous and appreciative in giving and accepting the gift of true security are people who feel no need to over simplify real life in efforts to achieve for themselves a false sense of security. Other people are often defensive in their false efforts to eliminate complexity, ambiguity, uncertainty and doubt. They manipulate ideals, values, questions, issues, beliefs and affirmations in efforts to get other people to join with them in playing their collusive games of mutual self deception --- games designed to simplify life and facilitate the comforting sense of certainty which they desperately need. When we encounter people who see things and people only in terms of sharp black and white lines between acceptable and rejectable good and evil, true and false, proper and improper, salvation and damnation, and other like sharp distinctions --- then we need to look for signs of systemic dishonesty and the manipulation our ability to experience, perceive, describe, and talk about our real life situations which involve complexity, ambiguity and uncertainty as central features. If we do not do so we are likely to join such collusive people in their addictive dependence upon false dichotomies, simplifications, and convictions as fixes for their tragic insecurity.
