     Most  decisions are not based primarily  upon  logic,
reasoning and other systematic considerations.    Equally,
if not more important,  are  emotions,  attitudes,  fears,
aspirations  and  intuitions.     We  lack  personal   and
communal integrity if we do not effectively integrate  all
of these considerations into an organic whole.

     Many  of  our  decisions  flow   from  our  emotional
reactions to current reminders  of stressful events in our
past---events  which have not been carefully  examined  in
logical and reasoned  ways;   or even in  the light of any
mature awareness of how immature were the reactions of the
people who made the events stressful to us.

     If  we  are unaware of the immaturity of  people  who
created stressful events in our past ---  we are likely to
echo their immature reactions  when we are reminded of our
stressful childhood events.   We need to learn to sort out
which events entailed us making mistakes for  recognizable
reasons---and  which  other events entailed  other  people
responding  to  us  in  immature  ways  for   recognizable
reasons.   Such sorting will of necessity entail emotions,
attitudes,   fears,  aspirations and intuitions along with
logic, reasoning and systematic considerations.

     We  cannot  be ready to deal with future crises  with
integrity --- if we have not integrated  into one coherent
whole  our  emotions,   attitudes,   fears,   aspirations,
intuitions,     logic,     reasoning    and     systematic
considerations.
