Social A dialogue can best relate to those who are strong and intractable by conducting itself with due respect, reinforcing recognition of inner worth whenever it is reflected in external rank.
Sub-conditions:

2. The dialogue may act successfully in isolation, free of conventional entanglements and the enticements of conventional goals. (Resulting in: Spontaneity).
3. When handicapped, reckless action beyond its capabilities invites disaster, which is only justified when the dialogue is struggling for a higher cause. (Resulting in: Creativity).
4. The dialogue may succeed in a dangerous entreprise if it acts with caution, conscious of its inner resources. (Resulting in: Essential quality).
5. For a resolute action to succeed, the dialogue should be aware of the dangers of resoluteness. (Resulting in: Opposition).
6. The success of the dialogue can only be assessed in terms of effects of its actions; these then determine the consequences for the dialogue. (Resulting in: Vitality).
