Respecting dichotomous exclusivity by choosing one exclusive side over an opposing exclusive side --- does not help anyone. Respecting dichotomous exclusivity is an act of IDOLATRY which worships a fragment of the whole truth --- at the expense of the integrity of the WHOLE TRUTH which is often PARADOXICAL. Only those affirmations which are mutually inclusive and mutually integrative --- truly merit our reverence, respect, honor AND support. Exclusive affirmations which are made at the expense of essential complementary affirmations and at the expense of their personal incarnations --- NEVER merit our reverence, respect, honor OR support. We cannot with personal or communal integrity --- reverence, respect, honor or support any ONE: affirmation, virtue, ideal, value, principle, person, or group of people --- TO THE EXCLUSION of any other complementary ONE that merits our reverence, respect, honor OR support. EXCLUSIVITY UNDERMINES INTEGRITY. So also do: narcissism, egocentricity, arrogance, self-righteousness, selfishness, extremism, terrorism, coercion, violence, greed, pretentiousness, power-concentrations and wealth- concentrations --- because they all involve the tragic presence of exclusivity in at least one of its many tragic forms. All forms of exclusivity subvert and undermine many forms of integration and integrity. There is no ONE form which is exclusively right, correct, proper, etc. Exclusivity and domination in all of their tragic forms --- are at war with all forms of integration and integrity --- which are true with integrity in God who is One; as demonstrated through all forms of Love which are themselves: true, honest, kind, gracious, civil, hospitable, gentle, humble, cooperative, healthy, patient, just, balanced, compassionate, generous, coherent, thoughtful and integrative --- with an Integrity which is as One. BE-AWARE and BEWARE when any person denigrates any ONE: truth, honest-affirmation, kindness, grace, civil- relationship, act-of-hospitality, gentle-relationship, form-of-humility, cooperative-venture, healthy- relationship, or any demonstration of: patience, justice, balance, compassion, generosity, coherence, profound- thoughtfullness or integrity. Denigrations used by exclusive people in efforts to tear down complementary affirmations --- do not merit any reverence, honor, respect or support. Be-aware-of with-others of any such denigrations --- and together with them beware of the tragic consequences of denigrations. No denigration ever merits respect, honor or support. Any denigration is a strong indication that there is a collusion operating in support of "The Domination System" which denigrates all forms of true-love and Love's true-lovers. Love works to bring us together, to integrate us, to promote both personal and communal integrities. "The Domination System" works to denigrate and subvert the honest efforts of Love.
