     We  will do-well-to-cooperate in seeking to  clarify-
for-ourselves-and-each-other    the-aspects/charateristics
of  our-COMPETITIVE-relationships  which lead-to-personal-
and-communal-DIS-INTEGRATIONS --- in  contrast   to   the-
aspects/characteristics  of  our-COOPERATIVE-relationships
which      lead-to-personal-and-communal-INTEGRATIONS-and-
INTEGRITIES.

     1.  The  more  that we overtly-agree on  who-overtly-
wins  and  who-overtly-loses  ---   in-experiencing-overt-
rewards and in-experienceing-overt-losses ---

     the   more  that  we-all-lose  through  personal-and-
communal disintegrations.

     Perhaps we will do well to shift attention away  from
winning-and-losing to cooperation?

             - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

     2.  The  more that our-overt-rewards  and  our-overt-
losses --- naturally entail concentrations-vs-deprivations
of:   possessions,  property,  money,  wealth,   luxuries,
powers-to-dominate,  powers-to-control,  powers-to-reward,
powers-to-punish/enpoverish, etc. ---

     the   more  that  we-all-lose  through  personal-and-
communal-disintegrations.

     Perhaps  we will do well to shift attention away from
rewards/losses and concentrations to distributive-justice?

             - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

     3.  The  more that there exist extreme-pleasures-and-
extreme-resentments  over unequal-distributions of  overt-
gains and overt-losses ---

     the   more  that  we-all-lose  through  personal-and-
communal-disintegrations.

     Perhaps we will do well to shift attention away  from
unilateral-extremism to balance-and-mutuality?

             - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

     4.  The  more that we agree that it  is  both-normal-
and-natural  that  the rich-get-richer and  the  poor-get-
poorer ---

     the  more  that  we-all-lose  through   personal-and-
communal-disintegrations.

     Perhaps we will do well to shift attention aways from
unilateral-enrichment to generosity-and-hospitality?

             - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

     5.  The more that we focus upon retibutive-justice at
the expense of distributive-justice ---

     the   more  that  we-all-lose  through  personal-and-
communal-disintegrations.

     Perhaps  we will do well to shift attention away from
retributive-justive to distributive-justice?

             - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

     6.  The  more  that we overtly-cooperate  in  sharing
overt-gains   and     overt-losses   because   of   overt-
cooperation ---

     the  more  fully  that we  become  well-integratd  as
diverse-persons  and   diverse-communities  ---    wherein
COMPLEMENTARY:

     insights, understandings, perceptions,  perspectives,
revelations,  truths, descriptions,  statements,  desires,
hopes, fears, joys, expectations, concerns, coordinations,
and computations ---

     ARE GRACIOUSLY SHARED within-common-sanctuaries.

     7.  The  more  that  we  engage  in  open-and-honest-
dialogue/listening  which entail:   intimacy,   mutuality,
vulnerability  AND  safety  WITH  all-around-equality-and-
justice ---

     the  more  fully  that we  become  well-integratd  as
diverse-persons   and  diverse-communities  ---    wherein
COMPLEMENTARY:

     insights, understandings, perceptions,  perspectives,
revelations,  truths, descriptions,  statements,  desires,
hopes, fears, joys, expectations, concerns, coordinations,
and computations ---

     ARE GRACIOUSLY SHARED within-common-sanctuaries.

     8.  The more we are sympathetically attentive to our-
own-and-each-other's-experiences     in    open-and-honest
dialogue/listening ---

     and  the  more fully  we   learn  from   our-own-and-
each-other's   mistakes,   blunders,   catastrophies   and
tragedies ---

     the  more we will become able to enjoy  personal-and-
communal integrations-and-integrities together.

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