Uwe -- I think this quote from your email could be carved in stone somewhere;

>"people can live with constraints and limitations, but not with
>deception and lies."

Truth is incredibly powerful, and the deeper the truth, the more
powerful.  We need to tell our truths about ourselves, too, and about
the costs that may come from accepting any particular set of
constraints, or the costs we may have already paid.  Telling the
truth can be used to justify not so desirable situations, also, when
we do not feel free to act.  Truth is most powerful when it is given
with authenticity and openness to honoring free choice within the
existing constraints.  Can we honor our freedom and right and
responsibility to act to determine our futures, as well as to talk
about them?  Can we take full responsibility?
