balked. We are really in pretty bad shape, to be candid.

Are there any alternatives? Perhaps there are. At least, there is one approach we haven't tried. We haven't tried the group, making the group our primary base. We may already have our groups. But, the existing groups are, at best, only a beginning. Usually they are for the purpose of good company or contacts. They could be developmental. A group of five or so like-minded members might provide a broader loyalty base, work

on inhibiting jealousies and generate vitality through a healthy erotic life. Could responsibility to a group produce responsibility within society? Might it be possible for balked emotional needs to be turned into creative vitality through group experience? If our emotional lives were not balked, would we be more able to reason a philosophy? It has been said that the open mind depends on the open heart. Could the developmental group work? Well, it is one alternative we have never tried!
