Personal and communal integrity are not objective realities. They are not the fruits of objective manipulations, disciplines, controls, processes or flows. If some reality yields to manipulations, disciplines, controls, processing or channeling---that reality is not the key to the enjoyment of personal and communal integrity; even if it entails much knowledge, power, understanding, truth, sacrifice, and some of the appearances of love. Personal and communal integrity are the fruits of open and honest dialogue and cooperation. They are not objective realities which can be given, taken, channeled, moved, transported, contained, presented, regulated, assured, or controlled. Those who enjoy personal and communal integrity can demonstrate their enjoyment in the presence of those who do not enjoy personal and communal integrity; but they cannot give, deliver, impose or otherwise channel that which is "good" to those who do not have it. Personal and communal integrity are not "goods" which can be given, delivered, imposed, or channeled from a time, place, culture, or source where they are in abundant supply--to another time, place, culture; or to consumers who need them. Those people who do not enjoy personal and communal integrity cannot get the "goods" which they need in order to enjoy personal and communal integrity---as realities which can be moved from one place to another; moved by themselves or by other persons. Objective processes are not the keys to the enjoyment of personal and communal integrity---even if they may be present therein and contribute thereto; they are not the essence thereof.
