What is essential to personal and communal integrity?
Here "essential" is used to DESCRIBE whatever by its
absence leads to personal and communal disintegration.
"Essential" here does NOT mean "most important."
***** It is essential that we recognize and
acknowledge how and why it is that to "trash" or
"sacrifice" any one essential to personal and communal
integrity --- in an effort to affirm another one or few
essentials --- is both futile and disintegrative.
This IS to say that complementary essentials need to
be integrated --- rather than put in competition with each
other within conflicts over "essential" rights to be
dominant.
This IS to say that it is disintegrative to "trash"
or "sacrifice" any "different" person who is "guilty" of
affirming in positive ways some essential which is
complementary to, but apparently in conflict with, the
essential(s) which we the "good people" regard as worthy
of playing the dominant role in "our" community.
This IS to say that creative compromises and
accommodations to mutually complementary essentials will
need to be made in many situations.
This IS to say that defenders of mutually
complementary essentials will need to be intentionally in
open and honest dialogue with each other about what
essentials each of them sees as dangerously absent from
the lives of their communities as such, and from the lives
of the individual members of their communities.
