     A  helpful  measure of the health of a community  and
its  individual  members  ---   is  how  they  regard  the
realities of: shame, guilt, blame and paralyzing fears:

 1.  As signs of regrettable and healable alienation?

 2.  As tools to be used in concentrating power/wealth?

                             ---

 1.  When  shame,  guilt,  blame and paralyzing fears  are
regarded as signs of regrettable and healable  alienation,
the  community  as  a whole and its individual members are
in  a  good  position to identify where cooperative  works
needs  to  be  facilitated  and  advanced  ---   to  build
communal-sanctuaries  for  victims  of  various  kinds  of
regrettable and healable alienation.

 2.  When  shame,  guilt,  blame and paralyzing fears  are
regarded as effective tools that  can be used in advancing
ego-centric and self-centered concentrations  of power and
wealth    ---    then   distributive-justice,     communal
integrities,   and personal integrities are undermined and
sacrificed upon the alters of:  greed,  narcissism,  self-
righteousness, arrogance,  hubris,  capitalism,  military-
industrial-complexes,  and  corporations  that are treated
as vulnerable persons with unlimited rights.

                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in
                      "Search for Honesty and Integrity"
                    (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy)
