Some people seem to be dedicated to conflict and violence, without regard for similarities and differences between their genra. Individuals and communities are unable to enjoy personal and communal integrity so long as they are unable and/or unwilling to participate in open and honest dialogue about the diversity of genre and expressions of them; and of how the genre relates to the possibilities for the enjoyment of personal and communal integrity. Some people are committed exclusively to genra which prevent open and honest dialogue; preferring to play collusive games of mutual self deception about the similarities and differences of all that is involved. The enjoyment of personal and communal integrity depend in significant ways upon how well the members of a community (individually and cooperatively) work for agreements (explicit and tacit) about how, when, where, and why to weave the threads of life together in both public and private ways. Personal and communal integrity cannot be enjoyed in the absence of significant public commitments to, and cooperation in such work. Integrity cannot be enjoyed and so in the absence of the understandings which are the foundations for such commitments and cooperation. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
