 %DISINTEGRATE MOTIVE IDEAL VALUE RELIGION ATTITUDE 921022

     Motives,  ideals,  values,  religions,  attitudes and
professions  ARE  DISINTEGRATIVE if they  lead  people  to
personally reject, excommunicate, disfellowship, shun, ban
or otherwise alienate themselves or each other.  They  ARE
DISINTEGRATIVE if they lead people to respect or  tolerate
such alienative behaviors.

     Being tolerant  of  or respectful  toward  alienative
behaviors leads to personal and  communal  disintegration.
This  is  true  even when  the  alienative  behaviors  are
traditional,   respected,  and/or engaged  in by  powerful
people within major  professions, religious organizations,
political parties and governmental agencies.

     If  we deceive ourselves and/or each other about  how
worthy of respect alienative behaviors are; then we cannot
deal  openly  and honestly with the consequences  of  such
alienative   behaviors,   we  cannot  be  wise.   Then  we
disintegrate both personally and communally.  No amount of
technocratic skill, sophistication,  advance,  or resource
consumption  can compensate for  our  dishonesty.  We  are
fools if we believe and behave as  if it were otherwise---
no matter how  much  we are respected for engaging in such
alienative behavior.
