CONTEXTIC: Viewing each other and our relationships within broader contexts, and as the products of and contributors to the broader contexts. WHOLISTIC: Accepting the organic whole of each other and our relationships, as wholes having integrity worthy of respect and support. Being compulsively/exclusively ANALYTIC leads to fragmentation and disintegration of the whole of what is analyzed into dichotomous parts without respect for its integrity. Being compulsively/exclusively CONTEXTIC leads to blindness to how the parts of a whole work together in integrative ways to have integrity in spite of disintegrative contexts. Being compulsively/exclusively WHOLISTIC leads to blindness to the dynamic relationships between the elements of organisms and their contextual relationships with each other and their comprehensive environment. No one way of approaching each other and our relationship is superior to the others in any exclusive way. Compulsive exclusivity in support of any way of approaching each other and our relationships---is bound to be disintegrative---no matter how appropriate the way may be in some situations.
