We cannot be liberated from our double-bind-prison so long as we cling to the bars of the prison---the objective tools which we believe will enable us to overcome our reflexive dilemmas. Vulnerability, insecurity, defensiveness, intimacy, meaning, significance, honor, love, sexuality, birth and death---are all reflexive in character as well as having objective aspects. None of them can be overcome through the use of exclusively objective tools; for none of them are exclusively objective in character---just as none of them are exclusively reflexive in character. It is our dedication to exclusivity which imprisons us. Paradigms which promote exclusivity and narrow visions imprison us. We cannot cope satisfactorily with realities which entail both objective and reflexive aspects---if we refuse to deal honestly with some of their essential aspects. We cannot cope satisfactorily if we refuse to be open and honest about the various aspects of all that we need to cope with. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
