第12回佳作order to develop faith in the future, people need to start hearing about the successes.These will serve as confidence building measures that in time can start to balance outthe negatives.Ⅱ．Lessons from an Individual Crisis Manager（Therapist）to anInternational Crisis Manager（The UN）The [crisis manager] cannot resolve the problem for [others], he can notaccomplish the struggle in his place. The love of a [crisis manager] is alove devoid of sentimentality; a love of a realist. It is a love that acceptsthe truth of human destiny; where no one can save another, but whereone must nevertheless incessantly attempt ? and by all means?to helpothers help themselves. All love that ignores its limits and proclaims itselfcapable of“saving”the soul of another is a love still impregnated withself-complacency and ambition.? Erich Fromm [translation & inserts mine] 13No therapist would be crazy enough to conduct couple therapy when an angryhusband waves a gun in his hand. Nor would the therapist be considered sane if hedecided to stay put in such a situation while insisting to provide a gun to an anxiouswife. It doesn't take a genius to deduct that in this couple conflict the therapist?despite his best intentions? would be a sitting duck.Oddly enough when the same dilemma was faced by the United Nations in Bosnia,how the UN should respond remained an enigma. Naturally, the analogy? whilean over-simplification in sort? still serves to strikingly remind policy makers thatreducing an international dilemma to the individual level can sometimes allow headsto cool and common sense to prevail.13 Erich Fromm, Zen and Psychoanalysis. Translation from French version. Words in parenthesis [crisis manager]read“Zen master”in the actual text. The quote, however, is appropriate to evaluating the desire and ability of theinternational community to help in crisis.375
