     Simplistic commandments, prohibitions,  prescriptions
and  taboos  are  often misleading---because  they  cannot
anticipate  all  the complicated circumstances which  wise
people  must  consider to respond  wisely  to  complicated
situations in integrative ways.   False simplifications of
complicated  situations do not lead to wisdom.  There is a
better way to wise behavior.

     In   whatever  you  do  seek  therein  to  accentuate
integrative  aspects,   and  to  minimize   disintegrative
aspects thereof.

     In  whatever you do seek to maximize  involvement  in
activities which are inherently: integrative, cooperative,
liberating,  prudent,  fearless,  thankful,  appreciative,
creative,  gentle, affirmative, reconciling, affectionate,
friendly, just, humble, hopeful, inclusive.....

     In  whatever you do seek to refrain from  involvement
in activities  which   are   inherently:   disintegrative,
alienative,  individualistic, fearful,  resentful,  angry,
stuck-in-the-past,  violent,   negativistic,   judgmental,
legalistic, condemning,   arrogant,   prejudicial,   self-
righteous, cynical, exclusive......

Perfect  conformity  to  a  perfectly  simple  code,
formula  or system does not lead to personal and  communal
integrity---it  leads instead  to  personal  and  communal
disintegration.
