     Each form  of dishonesty is a threat to personal  and
communal  integrity.   Each form of dishonesty is like  an
infection of a  part of the body---which can spread to all
other  parts of the body.   An infection in any part of  a
body  is a threat to all parts of the body to  which  that
infection can spread.

     Each  form of dishonesty is a threat to all parts  of
the lives of people and their communities where dishonesty
can undermine personal and communal integrity.  Such parts
of  the lives of people and their communities are  pointed
to by words such as:

     1.  Seeing, hearing, feeling, taste, and touch.

     2.  Perceptions based upon sensory information.

     3.  Understanding based upon perceptions and senses.

     4.  Feelings, emotions and attitudes in general.

     5.  Sensed desires, wants and needs.

     6.  Body knowledge and wisdom.

     7.  Expectations, intentions, beliefs & convictions.

     When people use dishonesty,  deception and/or secrecy
as  tools  of manipulation of  perceptions---the germs  of
personal and communal disintegration are sown.  Such germs
can  spread  throughout  the lives  of  people  and  their
communities---if  the  threat  which  they  pose  is   not
recognized,  named,  described and talked about openly and
publicly.
