They together make sense because of how they are mutually supportive. Disintegrative ideals, values, goals, desires, attitudes, beliefs and approaches are usually disconnected, arbitrary, standing in isolation from each other. They make sense only in the narrow sense of serving the self-centered purposes of contentious people who are preoccupied with issues of control, power, and acquisition. They lead people toward personal and communal disintegration---because they invite people to think in fractious either/or terms --- which split groups into opposing camps. They help people initiate and maintain conflicts which undermine both personal and communal integrity. There is no common ground within them for profound cooperation, mutual understanding, trust or cooperation. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
