     What is the nature/focus of commitments which lead   
       us toward both personal integrities and lead       
         us toward communal integrities?                  
                                                          
     What are the natures/foci of commitments which       
       lead us towards the disintegration of              
         our personal integrities and of                  
           our communal integrities?                      
                                                          
     It is ODD how in EVEN our best efforts we tend to    
       confuse the contrasting natures/foci of our truly  
         integrative efforts --- with the nature/foci of  
           our falsely disintegrative efforts.            
                                                          
     We try to make our efforts which lead us to          
       disintegrate each other --- to look like our       
         efforts which lead us to become integrated       
           with each other; in balanced, mutual,          
             cooperative Love.                            
                                                          
     Our integrative efforts entail many mutually         
       complementary aspects --- which include among them 
         COMMITMENTS to facilitate and promote NON-       
           VIOLENT and NON-COERCIVE kinds of:

     Our disintegrative efforts are the kinds of efforts  
       which can accurately be described/pointed-to       
         in terms of words such as:                       
                                                          
     EXCLUSIVE      COERCIVE      VIOLENT      LIMITING   
                                                          
     THREATENING    INTIMIDATIVE  PUNITIVE     OPPRESSIVE 
                                                          
     DESTRUCTIVE    REPRESSIVE    DOMINEERING  CONTROLLING
                                                          
     PRETENTIOUS    DISHONEST     SECRETIVE    CONFUSING  
                                                          
     SELF-RIGHTEOUS CODEPENDENT   ADDICTIVE    UNHEALTHY

     SELFISH        DEFENSIVE     AGGRESSIVE   INSECURE   
                                                          
     STRESSFUL      ANXIOUS       VENGEFUL     ANGRY

     Commitments which lead us into RELATIONSHIPS which   
       may reasonably be characterized by the words just  
         above --- are disintegrative commitments  --- no 
           matter how hard we try in "unified" ways to    
             make them appear to us as worthy of honor,   
               respect and support.  We AS-INDIVIDUALS can
                 not be worthy of honor, respect & support
                   if we are trapped in RELATIONSHIPS that
                     are not worthy of honor, respect and 
                       support which are integrative.  We 
                         need each other's help to work   
                           our ways out of such tragic    
                             ADDICTIVE RELATIONSHIPS.     
                               We cannot work our ways    
                                 out through the use      
                                   of violence in any     
                                     of its many          
                                       tragic forms.      
                                         With Love.       
                                           Shalom.
