     Patterns  of compulsive-non-productive-preoccupations
that are exclusive ---  are often threats to communal-and-
personal integrations-and-integrities because:

     1.  Exclusive-preoccupations    divert     attention,
energy,  resources away  from  more-productive  activities
which  are  essential to meeting the real humane needs  of
many members of each community.

     2.  Compulsive-activities  often  exclude   attention
being-given  to questions-of-overview,  integration,   and
systemic-dilemmas.

     3.  Exclusivity   often   results   in    alienation,
estrangement and excommunication which undermine personal-
and-communal integrations-and-integrities.

     4.  General-patterns  of similar-human-behaviors  can
easily be  more destructive than can isolated instances of
a particular kind of human behavior.

     5.  Communal   and  personal  integrity  are  utterly
inter-dependent  realities;  what threatens one-of-the-two
is ultimately a threat to the other-one-of-the-two.

     6.  In  the  long-term-absence  of  integrations  ---
there will be fewer-and-fewer integrities.    In the long-
term-absence  of  integrities --- there will  be fewer and
fewer further integrations.

     7.  That (person,  ideal,   idea,  value,  principle,
etc.)  which is excluded ---  cannot be a-well-integrated-
part-of-the whole ---  so long as  it  is  excluded;   AND
cannot contribute to the healthy-integration  of-the-whole
--- so-long as-it-is-excluded.

                      "Search for Honesty and Integrity"
                    (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy)
