   %RELATIONS BETWEEN IDEAL VALUE PATTERN INTEGRITY 990123                                         
                                                                                                                               
     Our personal and communal integrities depend upon the                                                            
nature of the inter-relationships between/among our ideals   
and values;  within ourselves, within our communities, and                             
between ourselves and our communities.                                                            
                                                                                                                               
     The  natures of the inter-relationships between/among   
our  ideals and values may be pointed to and suggested  by                                         
words/phrases such as:

     If  the pattern of inter-relationships  between/among                      
our ideals and values lacks integrity, mutual-respect, and                            
coherence---so  also  will the inter-relationships  within                      
and among us and our communities be lacking.                                                            
                                                                                                                               
     If the patterns of inter-relationships  between/among                      
our  ideals  and  values  are  saturated  with  issues  of                                         
control, dominance, subservience and subjugation---so also                                                     
will  the inter-relationships within and among us and  our                      
communities be saturated with such issues.                                                                
                                                                                                                               
     The patterns of inter-relationships within and  among                      
us  and  our  communities are echoes of  the  patterns  of                                                            
inter-relationships within and among the ideals and values                      
which we embody.                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                               
     If  we  fail  to  cooperate  in  resolving  conflicts                                              
between  and  among the ideals and values of which we  are                                         
the incarnations---we and our communities will be  plagued                                                            
by  continuing  conflicts between and among those  favored                                              
ideals and values.                                         
                                                                                                                               
     If  we fail to be peacemakers as regards  our  ideals                                 
and  values;   we will not enjoy peace in our  time.    In                                                 
sickening  ways many of us enjoy the process of  nurturing      
the  enduring conflicts which give meaning to our pathetic                                              
lives of conflict, coercion and violence.
