     Some leaders specialize in narrow ways in order to be      
excellent in ways which are outstanding,  separating  them      
from the run-of-the-mill people who are not outstanding in                                                                    
any  particular  way.    Specialists find it easier to  be      
outstanding than generalists; because there are few people                          
who  are knowledgeable enough to appreciate the  integrity                                                                   
of really  wise   people  who  have  broad  knowledge  and                                                                    
understanding,  but are not outstanding in any specialized               
way.      
                                                                                                                               
     Religious  leaders  specialize in different  ways  of      
achieving  salvation  and/or of knowing who is and who  is                                                                     
not  saved.    Some  specialize in  good  works.    Others                                                               
specialize in the affirmation of good laws, prescriptions,                                                                     
proscriptions  and taboos.   Yet others specialize in  the                                                               
performance of proper rituals.   Even others specialize in                                                               
the interpretation of scriptures and doctrines.    Through                      
specialization  each  finds  a  way  to  think  highly  of      
themselves, and less highly of others who have specialized    
in less important ways.   Each specialist, of course,  has      
specialized in a way which they have come to regard as the      
most important way.    Each specialist looks down on other      
specialists  who  have specialized in ways which  are  far      
less  important than the way in which they themselves have    
specialized.     To each, their speciality is the means to                                                                     
salvation and comfortable self-righteousness.       
                                                                                                                               
     Among  specialists, few  specialize  in  working  for                                                                     
balance  among all the things that specialists focus  upon                                                                     
narrowly.     It is hard to specialize in being  balanced;                                                             
but  in  the absence of balanced-people,  specialists  are                                                                    
bound  to  become  contentious with each other  whom  they                
cannot   respect   because   they  have   specialized   in                          
unimportant ways.
