    Dear Erin,

    I wrote 17 Oct 2004 20:43:12 +0200:
    'everyone (men and women) wants to be pleasant, except ... that they
    want/need even more that their autonomy is respected. Everyone becomes a
    monster when denied this. Everyone becomes pleasant when in charge of
    her/his own life.'

    You replied 17 Oct 2004 12:38:34 -0700:
    'I am not sure if I agree if it was something "denied" or as Chuck said
    "given" by another. The control was always hers--- the only thing that was
    "denied" or "given" was recognition that it was hers.'

    I should have written: 'Everyone becomes a monster when their autonomy is
    not respected, i.e. when they are not given respect. Everyone becomes
    pleasant when adressed as being in charge of her/his own life.'
    Respect and recognition are almost synonymous in this context, I think.

    With friendly greetings,

    Wim
