     Individuals,  couples and small groups can (and often
do)   serve as ROLE MODELS of COOPERATIVE BEHAVIORS  which
promote   and  facilitate  both  personal   and   communal
integration.

     To  be more healthy we need to cooperate in promoting
more  such  COOPERATIVE BEHAVIORS  ---   and  to  mitigate
dis-integrative    behaviors  wherever  possible.      All
such  cooperative   efforts are inherently  REFLEXIVE  ---
because  participants within them are regularly REFLECTING
upon  the effects  of  their  own  and of   each   other's
behaviors.  COOPERATIVE-OBJECTIVITY cannot be  COMPLETELY-
OBJECTIVE while being  COMPLETELY-COOPERATIVE.    Isolated
perfection in exclusive ways  is fallacious.

     Regular affirmations of  complementary  standards are
ESSENTIAL FOUNDATIONS  for all COOPERATIVE BEHAVIORS.

     Egotism,  narcissism,   arrogance,    self-righteous-
ness,     bullying   and  domination ---   undermine   all
COOPERATIVE BEHAVIORS which are essential to both personal
and communal health.

     It  is  dangerous  for a community to  concentrate  a
major   fraction of its members'  attention on  relatively
few   heroes   of   any  kind:    military,     political,
religious,  scientific,  scholarly,  athletic,  entertain-
ment,   medical,  etc.   Such concentrations of attention,
influence   and  power undermine respect  for  COOPERATIVE
BEHAVIORS  and  for the  distribution of power among  many
complementary  kinds of people.

                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
