     Humans  are  social creatures for  whom  meaning  and
significance are dependent upon communal responses to what
they have done.   Positive communal responses to  patterns
of  behavior lead to the assignment of  positive  meanings
and  significance  to  the behaviors  which  elicited  the
positive  communal  responses.   Primary  significance  is
given to communal responses of inclusion and/or  exclusion
from the community;   support or punishment,  affection or
embarrassment, etc.

     Humans are also  capable  of Individualistic-Patterns
of  behavior  where  Meaning-And-Significance  flow   from
Self-Defined-Satisfaction with the Fulfillment-Achievement
of   Individually-Defined-Goals.     Communal-and-Personal
Integrations-and-Integrities are built through Cooperative
and  Collaborative  efforts  which are  given Meaning-and-
Significance through the Inter-Play of  Communal-Responses
to what Individuals-Have-Done with  Individual's-Responses
to what Communities-Have-Done.

     It is  not particularly helpful  for  Individuals-or-
Communities   to  Act-As-If  Meaning-and-Significance  are
rooted  in realities which are Totally-Independent of  the
above   described   Inter-Play  between   Cooperative-and-
Collaborative-Efforts and  the  Communal-&-Individualistic
responses to Each-Other As-Individuals and As-Communities.
The extent to which any such Transcendent-Realities  Play-
Major-Roles   is  to  be  Discerned-Existentially  through
Participants-Describing their Experiences-in-Dialogue with
such Transcendent-Realities.

     To the extent that Transcendent-Realities are defined
as  Totally-Independent of Individuals-and-Communities ---
it will be impossible to Describe-Them-as-Interactive-With
Individuals-and-Communities   in  Coherent-or-Integrative-
Ways.    It  will  be Logically-Impossible to  offer  such
descriptions.    Individuals who presume to do so --- will
not be honored,  respected,  supported or  Regarded-Highly
within Well-Integrated-Communities.

     Vices are inherently Alienative-Disintegrative.

     Virtues are inherently Reconciling-Integrative.

     To the extent that  Behaviors-Demonstrate-Vices they
cannot  be  Well-Integrated-Into the  lives  of Coherent-
Individuals-and-Communities.

     To the  extent   that  Behaviors-Demonstrate-Virtues, 
they are  Essential-Foundations  of  Personal-and-Communal
Integrations-and-Integrities.

     It is Absurd-To-Be-Fools who think, feel,  and act as
if   the  above  Mutually-Complementary-Truths   are   not
Integral-Parts of any comprehensive Whole-Truth.

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