                    %INTEGRATIVE WISDOMS ACCEPTANCE 870209

     Wise  people are creative in finding ways to  promote
the  integration  of  diverse  aspects  of  life  and   of
apparently  conflicting  (but yet complementary)   ideals.
They are practical and pragmatic in relating ideals, ideas
and daily experiences.

     Foolish  people tend to block integrative actions and
considerations  by being fanatical in their commitments to
their   ideas  and  ideals.    They  confuse   issues   by
threatening to punish and reward people for their  foolish
and wise behaviors.   The threats of punishment and reward
tend to confuse the practical and pragmatic considerations
regarding  wise  and  foolish  behavior.    The   sensible
reasoning  by which one may sort out what is wise and what
is  foolish  becomes confused in the face  of  threats  of
personal    rejection,      alienation,      estrangement,
excommunication,  dis-fellowship, etc.   The reasoning can
not  be  completed with integrity because the  threats  of
rejection  lack  integrity.   The threats are not coherent
with  the  natural  reasons which lead  to  practical  and
pragmatically wise decisions  and  actions  in view of the
nature of things.
