     Many "things" are interdependent/interactive; e,g.,

     Our personal, spiritual and communal:
     =====================================

      Descriptions, proscriptions;
       Prescriptions, scriptures;
        Perspectives, perceptions;
         Visions, meditations;
          Prayers, desires;
           Hopes, yearnings and aspirations;

      Plans, technologies, goals;
       Ideals, ideas;
        Values, principles;
         Reflections, dreams,
          Visions, fantasies;

     Laws, rules;
      Regulations, judgments;
       Evaluations, assumptions;
        Attitudes, prejudices; etc. . . .

     All of the above interact in objective,  subjective &
reflexive ways with each other, us,  and our relationships
---   much as within  quantum  mechanics the formulas  and
operators interact within the theoretical descriptions and
operations of wave and matrix mechanics.

     Who we are with each other --- depends much  upon how
and what we say that we:  have been,   are now, should be,
and  shall be ---  with each other;  and how we judge  how
well  we are fulfilling:  our dreams,  visions,  hopes and
aspirations  ---  in cooperative efforts  together;  or in
contentiously coordinated conflicts with each other.

     If  we  fail  to  peacefully  resolve  our  conflicts
between/among our: ideals, ideas, values, principles, etc;
we  are  unable  to cooperate creatively with  each  other
within  personal relationships ---  which are  humane  and
integrative.   Instead we cooperate in the destructive and
disintegrative ways of war.

     Many  powerful leaders in major governments have been
arrogant,  self-righteous,  and domineering people --- who
have   been   unwilling   to  acknowledge   their   tragic
limitations,  mistakes  and  blunders.   The voters should
rise  up  and  remove  such people from office in as  many
gracious  ways  as  can  be used ---   without  destroying
reliable democratic forms of government ---  or destroying
honorable forms of personal and communal relationships.

     Democracies  around the world are not advanced by the
insensitive and excessive use of military weapons of  mass
destruction ---  by any people,  officially or officially.
Terrorism   is  not reduced by the use of any  weapons  of
mass destruction; no matter how "precise" or sophisticated
the weapons may be, or how official the officers who order
their use are.

     Unilateral  destruction is terrorism;  no matter  how
official and powerful  the perpetuators of the destruction
may  be.   Might does not make right.   Self-righteousness
and arrogance do not make violence right.

     "What  does  our common God require of us?"  To  walk
humbly with each other, love mercy,  and act in ways which
are  gracious  and  fair  for  all;   even  for  the  most
vulnerable among us.  Shalom.

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