      We   cannot   be  fully  involved   in   integrative
relationships  which fulfill our potentials  for  personal
and  communal integrity ---  so long as we refuse/fail  to
let  go  of  coercion/violence  as our  chosen   means  of
domination  and/or  control  of  others  ---    who for us
conveniently  remain:   poor,   weak,   hungry,   thirsty,
homeless, sick,  and vulnerable to us.                    
                                                          
     Clinging to the possibilities of coercion/violence as
our emergency means of domination and/or control of others
---  poisons our potentials for the enjoyment of  personal
and communal integration and integrity with our enemies.  
                                                          
     So   long  as  we  trust  coercion/violence  as   our
emergency means of domination and/or control of others ---
more than we trust God who is Love ---  we cannot learn to
trust our perceived enemies who are (like us) clinging  to
coercion/violence as their own means with which to achieve
unilateral security  and  invulnerability  in  our own un-
trust-worthy presence.                                    
                                                          
                                                          
     The above tragic  facts about our disintegrative ways
of   living   together  on  planet  EARTH  --- have   been
illustrated     in    the   many    enduring     conflicts
between/among Jews,  Christians  and Muslims down  through
the centuries;   e.g.,  within Europe, Great Britain,  the
United  States of America,  Palestine,  Israel  and  South
Africa.                                                   
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
