     Healthy COMMUNITIES PROVIDE for their members true   
       sanctuaries within which all members know and      
         enjoy true security as the freedom to be         
           safely vulnerable within intimate              
             relationships with each other                
               person who is "different".                 
                 Such sanctuaries are                     
                   essential found-                       
                     ations for                           
                       personal                           
                         and                              
                           communal                       
                             integrity                    
                               for all.                   
                                                          
     It is healthy COMMUNITIES which PROVIDE true         
       sanctuaries for their members. It is NOT           
         INDIVIDUALS as ISOLATED INDIVIDUALS that         
           achieve personal security through being        
             INVULNERABLE within SAFE ISOLATION           
               FROM RISKS.                                
                                                          
     When INDIVIDUALS as ISOLATED-INDIVIDUALS seek to     
       achieve INVULNERABILITY through defensive          
         "security-measures" --- they thereby             
            increase:   threats,  attacks,                
              anger, resentment, revenge,                 
                counter-attacks, etc.                     
                  Alienation, insecurity,                 
                    and defenses all                      
                      tragically increase.                
                                                          
     Individuals as isolated individuals cannot achieve:  
       security, invulnerability, well-being, health,     
         righteousness, salvation, perfection, purity,    
           superiority, fulfillment, shalom or heaven.    
                                                          
     Healthy COMMUNITIES PROVIDE for their members true   
       sanctuaries within which all members know and      
         enjoy true security as the freedom to be         
           safely vulnerable within intimate              
             relationships with each other                
               person who is "different".                 
                 Such sanctuaries are                     
                   essential found-                       
                     ations for                           
                       personal                           
                         and                              
                           communal                       
                             integrity                    
                               for all.                   
                                                          
     Within healthy COMMUNITIES the focus is as much upon 
       facilitating and encouraging healthy INTIMATE-     
         RELATIONSHIPS;  as upon ISOLATED-INDIVIDUALS.    
           The focus is as much upon what is MISSING      
             from the life of the community and/or        
               from the lives of its members; as upon     
                 what is present therein --- for          
                   what is MISSING is often               
                     as important as what                 
                       is present in the                  
                         lives of the                     
                           people and                     
                            community                     
                              as one                      
                              whole.                      
                                                          
     Because it is hard to DISCERN WHAT IS ABSENT from    
       an unhealthy community --- when you are a member   
         of an unhealthy community; the following         
           SUGGESTIONS OF WHAT  are        
             here offered for consideration:              
                                                          
     1.  PROVISION for ALL of the members to know true    
          sanctuaries within which all members know and   
           enjoy true security as the freedom to be       
             safely vulnerable within intimate            
               relationships with each other              
                 person who is "different".               
                                                          
     2.  A focus upon facilitating and encouraging        
           healthy INTIMATE-RELATIONSHIPS; as much as     
             upon ISOLATED-INDIVIDUALS.                   
                                                          
     3.  A HEALTHY BALANCE between privacy rights and     
           care that destructive conspiracies not be      
             developed in secret meetings which are       
               hidden via "privacy rights".               
                                                          
     4.  A focus upon facilitating and promoting both     
           PERSONAL INTEGRITY and COMMUNAL INTEGRITY.     
                                                          
     5.  A focus upon facilitating and promoting both     
           PERSONAL HEALTH and COMMUNAL HEALTH through    
             communal efforts of the community as a       
               healthy whole.                             
                                                          
     6.  A focus upon traditions and standards of         
           CIVILITY in dialogue among different people.   
                                                          
     7.  A focus upon identifying and respecting many     
           kinds of MUTUALLY COMPLEMENTARY: values,       
             ideals, ideas, principles, truths,           
               images, visions, dreams, etc.              
                                                          
     8.  Respect for PEACEMAKERS,  DIPLOMATS,  and        
           various other facilitators of healthy          
             conflict resolution which is                 
               beneficial to all who are                  
                 participants in the                      
                   conflicts which                        
                     are present.                         
                                                          
     9.  POWERFUL PEOPLE WORKING TO HELP WEAK PEOPLE      
           be and feel included in civil cooperative      
             work to integrate different members of       
               the community into a well integrated       
                 whole civilization which is whole.       
                                                          
     10.  People who are WILLING TO TAKE RISKS to         
            help other people become willing to           
              take risks to facilitate and                
                promote cooperation, rather               
                 than suspicious defenses                 
                   and attack modes.                      
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
