               %NOSTALGIA FOR CHILDHOOD'S INTEGRITY 870214

     In a community which lacks communal integrity  member
of  the  community violate their own integrity when trying
to cope with the lack of integrity in the community.   The
older  members  of the community have had to violate their
own  integrity more than have the children,  and  so  they
look back upon  their childhoods  with  nostalgia  for the
days  of  child-like  integrity---without knowing  how  to
recover that child-like integrity.

     Many   of  the  efforts  of  adults  to  recover  the
integrity  of  their  childhoods is childish  rather  than
child-like.   People who have violated their own  personal
integrity  rarely  have the integrity to seek  integration
with integrity.   The loss of integrity leads in a vicious
circle  which  leads  children  to  follow  the  perverted
leadership of their parents.
