     We will  do  well  to  seek  openly and  honestly  to
recognize,  develop and describe well integrated  theories
of  the foundations for personal and communal integrity---
and  of  the roots of disintegration.  What motivates  and
guides  tragic  behaviors  which lead  to  disintegration?
Often unbalanced idealism and values play major  roles  in
motivating  and guiding people into their contributions to
creating  tragedies.   Often uncritical  affirmations  and
celebrations  of  powerful technologies play major  roles.
Idealism  and  technologies  which  lead  to   dichotomous
exclusivities, preoccupations with conformity and control,
and   perfectionism---all   contribute  to  disintegrative
patterns.

     Any  effort to affirm one truth or value by  negating
another truth or value is properly open to suspicion as  a
likely  root of disintegration.  Exclusivity usually leads
to   imbalance   and  is properly open  to  suspicion   as
being  a likely root of disintegration.

     People  who refuse to respect and honor the  personal
or communal integrity/wholeness/honesty of others---are  a
threat  to the personal and communal  integrity  wholeness
and    honesty   of   others---as so are feeders  of   the
roots   of disintegration.   We will  do well to recognize
and  describe  the motivations,  ideals and  values  which
drive  and guide such people.   Often they are driven  and
guided by fears, anger,  resentment and repressed memories
of   unresolved  conflicts  from  their  own   and   their
ancestors' earlier days.
