Different people and communities have different conceptions of the nature of and way to well being. Many businessmen seek to sell others on the notion that what they have to sell is essential to the well being of others. There interest in others' well being is thus self-referential, not totally altruistic in nature; perhaps biased. It is rare for anyone to have a totally altruistic interest in other's well being. Each person is in some way interested in their own well being; survival depends upon some form of self interest in one's own well being. Such self interest is essentially self-referential; inevitably biased in favor of one's own self interest in terms of some conception of what will serve one's own self interest. Such self interest may be narrowly selfish. It may be transcendentally enlightened in conceiving one's own self interest to be the promotion of the integrity of the community and the personal integrity of all members of the community. In any case the self interest is in some way self-referential. It is not objective in a way which leaves self out of the picture with self viewing the picture from outside of the picture. The well being of a person/community depends as much upon the conception of what constitutes well being as upon objective facts which are perceived to be relevant to well being. Well being depends much upon how objective facts are interpreted in the light of a conception of what constitutes well being. The facts which develop depend greatly upon the expectations, hopes, fears, desires, etc. which flow from the self referential conception of what it would be like to enjoy well being. The enjoyment of well being depends greatly upon the self conception of well being, and the communal sharing of conceptions of well being; the communal conception of well being. The politics of promoting the communal welfare thus flows from conceptions of personal and communal well being and integrity. An understanding of the communal welfare entails a communal understanding of the strange feed-back loops entailed in conceiving the personal and communal well being, and realizing that conception in reality through personal and communal behavior which has/promotes integrity.
