     There    are   many   instances   where   there   are
complementary  virtues  which  may be viewed as contradic-
tory   opposites.      In such people's view ---   it   is
impossible  to  affirm the complementary  virtues  because
they view them as mutually exclusive;  as are honesty  and
dishonesty, gentleness and violence, integrity and chaos.

     There are  some polar-opposites which  are   mutually
exclusive --- and they need to be recognized, describe and
dealt with as mutually exclusive polar-opposites.

     Supporters of "The Domination System" and "The Fallen
Powers  That  Be"  are bound to see  all  behaviors  which
threaten  to expose the lack of integrity in their  system
and   behaviors  ---  as  opposite-to-what-they-hold-dear.
They cannot be faithful to "The Domination System"  in any
coherent way --- because it lacks integrity.

     It  is possible for non-domineering people to  affirm
in coherent ways the following complementary virtues: 

     HONESTY                   GENTLENESS

     LOYALTY                   MODESTY

     INTEGRITY                 COMPASSION

     HUMILITY                  CONFIDENCE

     MEEKNESS                  FIRMNESS

     DILIGENCE                 PATIENCE

     In   general,   there are  no   real   contradictions
between   truly complementary  virtues.   There are   many
occasions  where  it  is important   to   affirm different
virtues    as   being complementary to each other;   i.e.,
needing  the  other one as  a complementary virtue to help
create   overall  balance.    When  there  appear  to   be
contradictions   between  what  mature  people  regard  as
complementary  virtues,  less mature people need  to  seek
for understandings which will  reveal  how integrity    is
present   in   the  affirmations   of   the  complementary
virtues;        and      where     there      is      some
misunderstanding  about  the  implications  of  what    is
affirmed  through  the affirmation  of  the  complimentary
virtues.
