     Our conflicts and violent actions are often rooted in
intemperate,   fanatical and unbalanced efforts to  affirm
our   own ideals,   values and principles---at the expense
of other   honest    people   who  are   seeking to affirm
their   complementary  ideals,   values  and   principles.
Unbalanced  and  dishonest  behaviors do  not  effectively
affirm  any ideals,  values or principles which are worthy
of respect, support or honor;   and  they usually occasion
the disintegration of honest  people and communities which
effectively  affirm  complementary  ideals,   values   and
principles which are worthy of respect, support and honor.

     Passion,  enthusiasm and energy are admirable only so
long  as  they  are tempered with  humility,   gentleness,
balance,   mutual respect,  forgiveness, justice,   honest
conflict-resolution  and  reconciliation.    Dishonest and
unbalanced:     terrorists,     militarists,     fanatics,
fundamentalists, and addictive manipulators are often full
of  passion,  enthusiasm and energy---and are  dishonestly
destructive  of  many integrative people  and  communities
whom they perceive as threatening their collusive games of
mutual self deception.
