     Many  people  make the mistakes of  equating personal
"liberty" and "freedom" with:

     1.  "Independence" in the sense of
          "Not-Interdependent" with many or any others.

     2.  "Security" viewed as
         "Safety-without-Vulnerability";
              equated with "Invulnerability"

     3.  "Freedom-from-Responsibilities".

     4.  NOT Having-To-Be "Responsive"="Responsible".

     5.  NOT Needing-To-Be A-Member Of-A-Community.

     6.  The above as The-Essentials-For
         "The pursuit-of-happiness Rites/Rights."

     7.  "Integrity" made out to be equivalent with
         "Conformity" and "Propriety".

     8.  The right to concentrate Wealth-and-Powers.

     9.  The lifting of all limits-upon-individualism.

    10.  The restraint of Communal-Rights-and-Rites.

     Freedom and liberty cannot exist in The-Absence-Of:

     1.  Communal and Personal Integrities/Integrations,
     2.  Tolerance of Natural Differences-and-Varieties,
     3.  Constraints placed upon coercion/violence,
     4.  Constraints placed upon domineering-people,
     5.  Constraints placed upon vices,
     6.  Affirmations-and-Demonstrations of Virtues,
     7.  Clarity about Personal-and-Communal Integrity,
     8.  Resistance in the face of Concentrated-Powers,
     9.  Resistance in the face of Concentrated-Wealth,
    10.  Moderation in the Face of Extremism & Terrors.
    11.  Gentleness in the Face of Coercion & Violence.
    12.  Generosity in the Face of Greed & Stealing.
    13.  Relaxation in the Face of Contentiousness.
    14.  Hospitality in the Face of Dis-Ease & Disease.
    15.  Reconciliation in the Face of Alienation & Evil.

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