Their ELIMINATION, however, leads to imbalances which undermine our personal and communal integrities. The ways in which we regard the realities which we seek to ELIMINATE from our lives-and-environments are ways which are intimately related to the ground-and- procedures which are central in our acceptances-and- rejections of self-and-others. We cannot enjoy both personal and communal integrity so long as are preoccupied with grounds-and-procedures for acceptance-and-rejection; whether by self or by others. Reflecting upon these considerations will reveal that these reflexive considerations cannot be turned into any clear systematic set of rules and regulations which are free of inconsistencies, irregularities, and incoherencies. In the above the word ELIMINATE is presented in ALL UPPER CASE to draw attention to the fact that often one of the roots of our dysfunctionality may be found in our efforts to deny, repress, reject or otherwise ELIMINATE the complementary poles of the dichotomies upon which we take an extreme stands as being superior in some fundamental, ultimate and exclusive way---relative to the rejected pole. Some honest reflection will reveal that the words above are somewhat organized right to left and top to bottom; but the organization is not precise or systematic. Careful consideration of the above reflections will show that it is impossible to turn them into an integrative plan, system, discipline, program, organization or institution which --- will be better than others in any helpfully exclusive way.
