The quality of our lives and deaths depends upon how we respond. We may pretend that the conflicts do not exist and refuse to deal with them in any conscious or thoughtful way. We then participate in collusive games of mutual self deception and play the roles of addicts and their supportive codependents. We may in unhealthy ways go on the offensive and/or defensive, and deal with the conflicts through efforts to win; by offensive moves and/or seek to achieve security through defensive moves. Our response to the conflicts may thus be dominated by technical efforts, manipulative techniques, technology, experts and technocrats. We thus participate in addictions to manipulative techniques, technologies and technocrats. We may in healthy ways seek to understand the people who are involved in our conflict as fellow human beings with their own unique histories, values, ideals, fears and aspirations. We may seek to resolve our conflicts in ways which minimize future conflict, misunderstanding, and violence. What ways we choose to follow and what we choose to do in response to our conflicts will make tremendous differences in the quality of our future lives and deaths. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
