To be open and honest in intimate relationships entails vulnerability. Healthy relationships do not entail lying, misleading behavior, deception, trickery, manipulative communications, secrecy, etc. Offensive and defensive behaviors are not part of healthy inter-personal relationships. In satisfying personal relationships the participants are vulnerable to each other, yet secure in their vulnerability; free to be vulnerable and secure in mutual trust. Personal acceptance entails neither personal approval nor disapproval of a person or the person's behavior. Personal acceptance has to do with being willing to engage in open and honest dialogue with another person. Personal acceptance excludes the possibility of personal rejection. Personal acceptance is not a temporary refraining from personal rejection. So long as the possibility of personal rejection is present, there is no personal acceptance. Personal acceptance entails a profound commitment to promoting both personal and communal integrity as of ultimate importance. Healthy interpersonal relationships entail personal acceptance on the part of all participants. Participants reject the possibility of threatening or using personal rejection as a manipulative tool by which to try to control people's behavior. Helpful personal assistance does not involve stealing from other people their responsibility to be responsive regarding their behavior. All people have the responsibility to relate to others and to be in dialogue about how their behavior relates to personal and communal integrity within the community. Each person has the responsibility to promote both personal and communal integrity, and to participate in honest conversation about how they are seeking to promote integrity. Only through open and honest dialogue about efforts to promote integrity can members of a community discover the most helpful ways to do so. Trust is one of the fruits of the acceptance of others and of mutual vulnerability. Trust is earned. Trust cannot be helpfully demanded of others. To be trusted one must be trust worthy, worthy of trust. Trust is elicited through trustworthy behavior in open and honest conversation which converts suspicion into trust. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
