The fanatic is not interested in how the threads in the fabric inter-relate to each other; or in the patterns which threads make through their inter- relationships; or in the complementary differences among the threads. To a fanatic there is only one good in life: the unqualified affirmation of one pole of some dichotomy and the unqualified rejection of any affirmations of complementary realities and/or relationships. Fanatics refuse to see the relationships between their unqualified affirmations, and the natural consequences of those unqualified affirmations. The fabric of life is reduced to one end of one thread in the eyes of the fanatic; and it is all very simple and beyond question. The fanatic is defensive because the fanatic is insecure; has not been offered and/or has not accepted the gift of security as an infant, child, adolescent and/or as an adult. Security is the freedom to be vulnerable in complex relationships were mistakes are bound to be made, failures are bound to occur, and pain is bound to be felt. In the absence of such freedom people often become fanatical and tragically unreasonable. We will do well to give the gift of security to members of our own and other communities. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
