Only fools will offer respect, honor, support and/or reverence to that which has no unique-and-inherent integrity-within: matter, possessions, accumulations, wealth, goods, power, influence, appearances, pretensions, arrogance, hubris, "righteousness", "salvation", "dominance", "coercion", "violence", etc. To-the-extent-that: individuals and communities place much emphasis only upon: appearances, possessions, accumulations, wealth, goods, power, influence, "righteousness", "salvation", "dominance", "coercion", "violence", and military-industrial-complexes --- in the absence of personal-and-communal integrations-and- integrities --- there is NOTHING to TRULY: respect, honor, support or show reverence toward in-what-they-say- and-do. Fools-think that they can fake-it and have much which will attract: respect, honor, support and reverence. Fools-think that they can use technocratic-tools such as DISINTEGRATIVE: dishonesty, pretense, secrecy, concealment, power-concentrations, wealth-concentrations, dominance, force, coercion, excommunications, banishments, rejections, etc. to CREATE something which will attract: respect, honor, support and reverence. Fools do-not truly-think! Fools falsely-think that there can exist ABSOLUTELY- TRUE-AND-PROPER IDEAL-FORMS of CONFORMITY which entail no: creativity, authenticity, unique-thoughts, independence, interdependence, spontaneity, cooperation, civility, hospitality, kindness, humility, repentance, true- learning, or listening ON-THEIR-OWN-PART. Such fools' false-"thinking" offers nothing which is worthy of respect, honor, support OR reverence! No great-accumulation of "proper" form-of-conformity can prove that any of the above is TRULY-FALSE. OUR-MAJOR-PROBLEM is that fools think that when we expose their lack of integrity and their lack of coherence --- we are attacking their integrity. They "think" that their pretensions-of-integrity are true-integrity. When we expose their pretensions they "think" that we are in fact undermining-their-integrities; their-fundamentals. FUNDAMENTALISTS thus FIGHT-BACK to protect their pretensions-of-integrity and their pretensions-of: coherence, honor and reference. How can we most helpfully help each other to recognize the differences between pretensions-of- integrity and true-integrity; differences between what is fake and what is true. By graciously-Describing such differences in Non-Violent and Non-Coercive ways which are open, honest, civil, kind, and integrative may help. We can always try to do so in faith, hope and Love. There is little more that we can do. Shalom! (c) 2004 by Paul A.
