how is this "controlled?" i've been in situations where a person's belief
system is collapsed when faced with contradiction: learning about
foundationalism, for example, and experiencing the implications with
regards to personal Christian beliefs,
and the fear and confusion - unintentional, really. and in a group of
adults, this man was the only one who expressed the crisis of the
contradiction,
- no one was prepared to deal with it, or provide responses that could
make the rupture something other than a trauma -
how can anyone anticipate, let alone control the crisis in other's
experiences?
