     It  is helpful to focus upon how we can COOPERATE  in
promoting and facilitating our own and all other's diverse
kinds of integrities.                                     
                                                          
     We    cannot    UNILATERALLY-CONTROL  our   own    or
others'    personal    and/or    communal    integrities. 
Attempting    to  achieve  UNILATERAL-CONTROL   undermines
COOPERATION.    In  the absence of COOPERATION  ---    our
integrities  fall  apart;  as described  by   Acheebe   in
"Things Fall Apart".     If  we believe  there can be only
one kind of integrity,   we  are bound   to  demand   that
other   people   conform   to    our  particular  kind  of
integrity <==> ABSOLUTE/TRUE INTEGRITY; to  be like us -- 
-    to  not  threaten  us  with  differences  we  do  not
understand.                                               
                                                          
      UNILATERAL  efforts  undermine  COOPERATION.    Thus
UNILATERAL  self-defensive  efforts undermine  COOPERATION
and  integrity.    Such  efforts undermine  all  kinds  of
healthy  and honest integrities which truly merit respect,
honor and support.                                        
                                                          
      It   is   dangerous  to  focus   UNILATERALLY   upon
protecting our own particular  kind  of integrity ---  for
such  UNILATERAL  efforts  are  bound  to  lead  us   into
threatening  each  other's different kinds  of  integrity.
Doing so in not helpful to anybody.  Yet, tragically often
we do so.   Why?  Why do so ---  when we thereby undermine
our  own  integrity?    Why  do  we  not  learn  from  the
consequences of our mistakes?
