In the absence of an ideal community the compulsive individualist often seeks self fulfillment in the self conception of an ideal self separated from any real community. Being unable to deal with communal imperfections often leads to the separation of self from the reality of real imperfect communities. Such separation makes real self fulfillment impossible. Self fulfillment has to do with communal respect of the individual. The compulsive community is often blind to the fact that there is no real communal integrity in the absence of personal integrity on the part of different unique individuals. When real creative unique individuals are not "ideal" the compulsive community may reject them and so deprive the community of their power to renew the community and its integrity. The compulsive community often seeks communal fulfillment in the communal conception of an ideal community apart from any real creative unique individuals. Being unable to deal with individual imperfections often leads to the separation from the community of the real creative unique individuals who are essential to future integrity of the community. Such separations make communal fulfillment impossible. Communal fulfillment has to do with communal respect of the real creative united individuals within the community. Personal and communal integrity are unavoidably interdependent. Failing to honor this truth leads to personal and communal disintegrations. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
