Righteousness is too often associated with purity and separation from: dirt, impurity, troubled-people, imperfect-people, evil-people, bad-people, creative non-conformists, etc. Self-righteous people often assume that their arrogance is a badge of honor, goodness & respect. These errors are often rooted in failing to realize that righteousness has to do with the healthy qualities of right-relationships: honesty, gentleness, integrity, hospitality, civility, kindness, authenticity, balance, mutuality, cooperation, generosity, peacemaking, etc. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
