     There   is   an  inevitable  interplay  between   our
conceptions of our present:  ideals,  values,  principles,
virtues,   vices,  ethics,  morality,  etc.   ---  and our
conceptions/choices  of  our present:   leaders,   heroes,
honored-people,   admired-people,   etc.    It  cannot  be
otherwise.

     1.    Note which virtues,  vices,   ideals,   values,
principles,   etc.   play key roles in  influencing  which
leaders are honored and chosen for the coming years.

     2.  Note   which   leaders   play  major   roles   in
influencing which vices and virtues are given  appropriate
consideration in affirmative and negative ways.

     The  above  two processes interact  with  each  other
through  intent,  neglect,  indifference,   forgetfulness,
collusions, domination, coercion, and violence; or through
grace,    peacemaking,    hospitality,    civility,    and
distributive justice.

     If  we are unaware of the interplay and  interactions
we  are likely to become victims of domineering people who
in  various  ways promote and facilitate the evolution  of
evil-relationships within,  between,  and among members of
isolated and interactive communities.

     Domineering-People are prone to try to focus

     blame, guilt, shame; honor, credit, and rewards ---

     in rather narrow ways which undermine

     personal-and-communal integrations-and-integrities by

     generating alienation-and -estrangement which

     curtail-essential-dialogue upon which

     prudent-informed-wise decisions depend.

     The above patterns of behavior thus destroy  creative
cycles   of   interactions  between

     Evolving-Gracious-Leaders and

     Evolving-Gracious ideals, values, virtues, vices,
     ethics,  principles,  morality,  etc.

     In the face of the above realities it should be clear
that there is no way that any competent person can discern
clearly just-where:  blame,  guilt,  shame; honor, credit,
and  rewards ---  should be focused or concentrated.    We
cannot  frame questions within  a  paradigm of exclusivity
---   and  expect to have overall-integrative-fruits  flow
from accepting such questions and responding to them just-
as-they-have-been-framed.

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