Unbalanced specialists have no guaranteed right to be able to cause the expenditure of public tax money to become unbalanced by virtue of their getting an endlessly increasing fraction of the public funds to engage in their own unbalanced activities. The specialized activities of specialists are often unbalanced in spite of the fact that highly respected specialists are viewed as essential to the public welfare. The respect which unbalanced specialists enjoy is often but an echo of their own unbalanced sense of perspective. Many times unbalanced specialists seduce the public into participating in their unbalanced games of mutual self deception. Generous funding elicits respect and the opportunity to solicit additional generous funding in an exponential growth process which is insensitive to non- objective issues of personal and communal integrity. It is important to shift the basis of respect, support and funding away from disintegrative criteria and towards careful consideration of the non-objective implications regarding personal and communal integrity, with due regard for balance as well as for competence. There are always dangers in generously supporting highly competent specialists who are lacking in personal integrity because they lack balance. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
