     When  communities fail to give adequate attention  to 
motivating their members to work productively, the members 
are  unlikely to contribute adequately to the creation  of 
personal and communal integrities.   Thus many communities 
often limit the enjoyment of the fruits of productive work 
to  those members of the community who contribute  to  the 
production of such fruits;  e.g., through wages and prices 
for fruits. 
                         HOWEVER 

     When  communities fail to give adequate attention  to 
the  importance  of  maintaining the physical  and  mental 
health of ALL members of the community,   many members are 
likely  to suffer from dis-ease,  mental-illness,  mental-
diseases, and anxieties which undermine the possibility of 
their being productive  contributors  to healthy  personal 
and communal integrities. 
     
     Communal  health cannot be maintained in the  absence 
of  maintaining  personal  health  FOR  ALL.     Excessive 
competition for scarce resources often leads to extremists 
demonstrating    unhealthy-pride,     arrogance,     self-
righteousness, coercion, domination, etc.   
     
     In  the presence of excessive competition  for scares 
resources  which  are  essential  to  both  personal   and 
communal health ---  people behave  in ways  which augment 
arrogance and self-righteousness  in making inter-personal 
comparisons and therefore creating: 
     
     False conclusions   about   personal-superiority  and 
personal-inferiority; e.g., 
     
     Nazi  concentration  camps for the  extermination  of 
Jews who were judged to be inferior; 
     
     American concentrations  camps  for Native Americans, 
Blacks, Germans, Japs, and Muslims; 
     
     USSR concentration camps for creative and independent 
thinkers about  the concentrations  of  and corruptions of 
political power in the USSR governmental system; 
     
     Religious concentration camps  which segregate false-
believers    from   ABSOLUTELY-TRUE-BELIEVERS   who    are 
ABSOLUTELY-RIGHTEOUS   through   SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS    and 
ARROGANCE;   
     
     INQUISITIONS  across  fences  between  such   concen-
tration  camps   as  regards:    beliefs,    confessional-
statements,    scriptural-interpretations,    male/female,  
gender-identifications,      sexual-desires,       sexual-
behaviors,  intimacies, friendships,  openness,   honesty, 
and the open sharing of experiences and insights; 
     
     CRUSADES   which   confuse   political,    religious, 
economic,   territorial,   and other kinds  of ideological 
conflicts. 

     We need to encourage  and  support  scholars  who are 
willing and able to create ways  to  reveal the DETAILS OF 
THE INCOHERENCE  within those  belief-systems,  paradigms, 
domination-systems, "ideal-forms",  etc.  ---  which lead 
people   to   undermine/destroy   many   personal/communal 
integrities.  There  are  many  kinds  of "fundamentalism" 
which are INCOHERENT;  even though not all fundamentalists 
demonstrate  INCOHERENCE.    People,  ideologies,  belief-
systems, paradigms, etc.  must each be judged  in terms of 
their fruits;  not in terms of  labels pasted upon them by 
domineering people that are seeking to concentrate  powers 
to be in control.    Often INCOHERENCE is due to a lack of 
consideration being given to ideals, values,   principles, 
and  people  who  are complementary  to  those  which  are 
concentrated upon in exclusive ways. 
                             
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
