    Healthy relationships and living entail a multitude of
balancing-acts   among   diverse-people   ---     working-
cooperatively    with    mutual-respect   and    gracious-
consideration for all of those involved.

     For each virtue,  ideal, value, principle,  person or
group ---  which merits our attention, respect & honor ---
there  are  other complementary ones ---  which also merit
appropriate  levels and kinds of attention,   respect  and
honor --- so as to maintain overall-balance.  "Things Fall
Apart"  when any one:  virtue,  ideal,  value,  principle,
person  or  group ---  is granted  un-balanced  attention,
respect or honor;  i.e.,  to the exclusion of  significant
others being granted any due-consideration.

     Due-consideration wisely leads different-people to
     chose to be true-to-themselves & true-to-each-other,

       in different ways which are appropriate-ways to
       demonstrate-diverse-forms of creative-integrity ---

         as different persons and communities ---

           sharing appropriate kinds/levels of attention,
           respect and honor ---

             toward  balanced-sets  of  virtues,   ideals,
             values, principles, people and groups ---

               within diverse circumstances.

     Healthy  relationships  and living DO  NOT  REGULARLY
ENTAIL:  extremism,  coercion,  violence,  domination,  or
conformity --- which is NOT welcomed.

     Healthy relationships and loving DO REGULARLY ENTAIL:
balance,  gentleness, meekness, cooperation AND creativity
--- which ARE welcomed.

     "Things  Fall Apart"  in the absence of  balance  and
mutuality among many different:  virtues, ideals,  values,
principles,   people  and  groups  ---   working  together
cooperatively in graceful ways.

     Pride and certainty  are balanced by  humility.

     Doubt and suspicion are balanced by trust and faith.

     Spontaneity is balanced by wisdom and prudence.

     Self-confidence  and self-esteem are balanced by  due
consideration  given  to  each  other  different-person's-
perspectives.

     Independence  is  balanced by  respect  for  how  all
people are interdependent --- whether they know it or not.
