                            %SELFISH VS INTEGRATIVE 870113

     Selfish behavior is not motivated by coherent desires
to integrate both personal and communal integrity;  rather
it  is directed to fulfilling in an isolated way  isolated
needs of  an individual as  perceived  by  the individual.
Selfishness    is   essentially   isolated   rather   than
integrative.  It seeks to meet the needs of one individual
without regard for the integrity of the individual as part
of an integrated community which also has needs.  By being
disintegrative  selfishness undermines  its   own  purpose
through ignorance brought about by isolation.  Selfishness
by  its nature lacks integrity and  undermines  integrity,
and   therefore  generates  sin/evil  as  alienation   and
disintegration.
