Not all imaginable possibilities are really possible, responsible, prudent, wise, integrative, and worthy of our respect. Not all imaginable possibilities merit our desires. Neither do all imaginable possibilities merit our fears. How are we to distinguish between those possibilities which merit our desires and fears, and those which do not? How are we to prudently and wisely place boundaries upon our desires and fears so as to promote both personal and communal integrity? How are we to place boundaries upon the ways in which unarticulated fears, compulsions, anxieties, attitudes, assumptions, beliefs and convictions limit our creative and integrative possibilities. Not all boundaries merit our respect---for many boundaries imprison us in keeping with the rules of our collusive games of mutual self deception. Many of our boundaries are created unwisely by our imprudent: fears, compulsions, anxieties, attitudes, assumptions, beliefs and convictions---which would not merit respect where they discussed openly and honestly within the context of a truly secure community, generated by the free exchange of gifts of true security known as the freedom to be safely vulnerable. As an open and honest community engaged in dialogue-- we need to draw boundaries to keep our fears, compulsions, anxieties, attitudes, assumptions, beliefs and convictions bounded by dialogue which is open, honest, informed, and secured as safely vulnerable by the exchange of the gifts of the freedom to be safely vulnerable. It is not prudent or wise to allow ourselves to be driven and guided by our unarticulated fears and compulsions, or by other people's unarticulated fears and compulsions. Prudence and wisdom demand that we seek the articulation of the fears and compulsions which drive and guide us; yet our collusive games of mutual self deception demand that they remain hidden and powerful in their disintegrative ways. We need to seek and find ways to transcend such collusive blocks to personal and communal integrity. See the next essay about diseases and treatment of them. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
