     The   "Foundations   For  Personal    and    Communal
Integrity"  are demonstrated in a variety of  ways   which
include the following:

     1.  Prudent  and  wise (occasional)   FORGIVENESS  of
debts,   transgressions,   errors,   blunders,   mistakes,
misunderstandings,   etc.  ---   but not according  to any
pattern unilaterally dictated by any one "special"  person
or group.

     2.  TOLERANCE  toward  differences  in   individuals'
needs, desires, perspectives, beliefs, convictions --- but
not   tolerance   in  a pattern which   regularly   favors
any domineering  individual or group, at the  expense   of
vulnerable individuals or groups.

     3.  TAKING-TURNS   doing    menial    jobs,   bearing
burdens,  getting special privileges, being honored and/or
recognized, etc.

     4.  Honoring  systems  of  CHECKS-AND-BALANCES  which
prevent the systematic concentration of power,  influence,
wealth or honor in (or)   any one  person   or  recognized
group of people.

     5.  Providing   for   various  kinds  of   people ---
various kinds   of   SANCTUARY  COMMUNITIES  ---    within
which individuals are graciously assured that they will be
free to  be safely vulnerable in open and honest  dialogue
about their own: limitations,  challenges,  fears,  hopes,
desires, needs, mistakes, blunders, etc.

     6.  Prudently and wisely TOLERATING IMPERFECTIONS  in
individuals    and   groups that are  publicly   committed
to,   and  are working to,  promote personal and  communal
forms    of   integrity   ---   in   keeping   with   many
complementary   "Foundations   for Personal  and  Communal
Integrity."

     7.  PATIENCE  when  it  is not possible  for  limited
mortals  to  achieve goals and fulfill ideals --- as  soon
as many people wish that they would do so.

     8.  The ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF environmental,   resource,
and  natural-laws'     LIMITATIONS   upon   what  desires/
envisioned goals, ideals, values and principles --- can be
fulfilled  within particular situations of time, place and
culture.

     9.  MODERATION   in  responses   to   perfectionists'
demands  that their own visions of perfection be fulfilled
--- in spite of the great costs which would be required to
fulfill their visions.

    10.  REVERENCE  TOWARD TRUE-LOVERS who  demonstrate in
gracious ways how to resolve conflicts in ways which truly
bring   to   an end all coercive and  violent  efforts  to
unilaterally-settle matters  to  the satisfaction of  just
some of the people involved.

     Only  when   many  people  honor  many of  the  above
foundations for  personal and communal integrity ---  will
people  be  able  to enjoy peace,  shalom,  relaxation and
healing ---  with true integrity.

     The above may help some people better understand  how
it  is  that domineering people behave  systematically  in
ways  which  alienate  them  from  true-lovers  who  might
otherwise be able help  them  become  well informed,  more
balanced,   and  more  sensitive  to  truths  which    are
essential to healthy leadership.

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
