It Is Always Safe to Be Rational
No individual human has an actual, rational conflict of interest with another human. No group of humans has an actual, rational conflict of interest with another group of humans. Given rationality, the actual desires of each individual and each group can best be served by mutual cooperation.
Nothing prevents communication, agreement, and cooperation between any humans except distress patterns. Given knowledge of their nature, these distress patterns can be coped with, handled, and removed.
Any individual or group can act rationally first without waiting for rational action on the part of someone else, and can take control of the situation by so doing.
It is always safe to be rational. Knowledge of the above information can be applied to all aspects of living and to all relationships with real profit and success.
