Such dishonesty is not an effective means to the enjoyment of personal and communal integrity. We all seek personal and communal integrity--- both of which are reflexive realities. Any paradigm which seeks to achieve personal and communal integrity by means and procedures which entail the denial of the reflexive nature of the goals which are needed, desired and sought; is a paradigm which is essentially dishonest and bound to lead its incarnations into dishonest, alienative, and manipulative relationships which undermine both personal and communal integrity. Such a paradigm is essentially dishonest and so is essentially disintegrative, no matter how sophisticated and resource/science rich the incarnations of the paradigm may be. Knowledge is true power only when it is truly used by true people who are dedicated to honesty, integrity and integration. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
