The are proud of their self-sufficiency in their ability to work out their own ultimate salvation, and believe that others should also work out their own salvation in an independent way. They ultimately respect their own independence and look with condescension upon people who are so weak that they are interdependent. Wise people who acknowledge the reality of their interdependence are often frightened and threatened by the arrogance of the presumptuous who claim that they are totally independent and able to work out their own salvation. Such arrogance is a threat to the integrity of the community and by stages is likely to undermine the unity of the community by separating people from each other as they presume to be independent of each other. The arrogantly independent are not worthy of respect for what they believe they have accomplished; for it is not real. It is pretense. All living creatures are interdependent within the ecosystem of their home planet. The resources upon which all draw are finite. What happens to any creature affects what happens to many other creatures in a chain that reaches around the planet and down through time. No creature is genuinely isolated, no matter how grand it may be. The bigger the creature the more dependent it is upon smaller more primitive creatures. The less devoted the creature is to creating food the more dependent it is upon the more primitive creatures who are totally devoted to creating food. The more grand the more dependent. The pretense of independence and self-sufficiency is dangerous because it threatens personal and communal integrity. Honesty about the reality of interdependence is wise because it facilitate realistic coping with personal and communal integrity. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
