Evil relationships are rooted in misleading objective assumptions, attitudes, paradigms and rituals---which tragically lead people to treat each other as isolated objects; rather than as personal expressions of one organic conscious whole. Evil relationships generate alienative feed-back loops of reflexive causes and effects---which intensify the causes and effects of reflexive prophecies which lack honesty and integrity. Love and both personal and communal integrity are rooted in honest reflexive assumptions, attitudes, paradigms and rituals---which graciously lead people to treat each other as interconnected expressions of one organic whole---thereby integrating the whole more fully in the eternal now of more intimate relationships and cooperative ventures---which are integrative expressions of the growing truth and love of the whole. People who are trapped in the alienative relationships which flow from their misleading objective assumptions, attitudes, paradigms and rituals---experience their alienation as the confirmation of the correctness of their objective assumptions, attitudes, paradigms and rituals--- but without any true sense of joy, enjoyment, fulfillment or personal meaning in their emotionally barren lives of personally disconnected experiences. They cannot recognize, understand or value the personal and communal integrity of the lives of people who are grounded in honest reflexive assumptions, attitudes, paradigms and rituals---which in transcendent ways graciously lead people to treat each other as interconnected expressions of one organic whole. People of integrity transcend the narrowing and debilitating objective world view of people who insist on finding the truth exclusively within the realm of impersonal objects; and therefore find little integrative joy, enjoyment, love or meaning in life.
