   %LOVE GOD NEIGHBOR SELF INTEGRITY KNOW GOOD EVIL 961025

     What  are we to understand is pointed to by the  word
"love"   in  the commandment to love our neighbor  as  our
self?   Which of the following words can with integrity be
put in the place of the word "love" in the commandment?

OBEY                 FORGIVE            SACRIFICE

PUNISH               RECONCILE          THREATEN

ATTACK               RESPOND-TO         RESENT

CONDEMN              INVITE             JUDGE

EXCOMMUNICATE        ACCEPT             ALIENATE

SPOIL                ENCOURAGE          PAMPER

COMMAND              INCLUDE            MANAGE

MANIPULATE           LISTEN-TO          DECEIVE

MIS-LEAD             SHARE-WITH         CONFUSE

RULE                 LIBERATE           BEGRUDGE

     If one of the above words does not fit with integrity
in  the  place  of  the word "love"   in  regards  to  our
relationships  with  our neighbors---it does not fit  with
integrity  in the place of the word "love"  in regards  to
our relationships with ourselves.

            By the same token . . .

     If one of the above words does not fit with integrity
in  the  place  of  the word "love"   in  regards  to  our
relationships  with  ourselves---it  does  not  fit   with
integrity  in the place of the word "love"  in regards  to
our relationships with our neighbors.

     Integrity  demands  that our relationships with  self
and others be  symmetric to the extent that it is possible
for them to be symmetric.  We need to be on guard that  we
do not  seek excuses  for  our relationships  not being as
symmetric as that can be.   Rationalizations,    motivated
and guided  by self  centeredness,  are  not reasonable or
integrative.
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
