Being-Superior, at the expense of Being-Humble, 6. Letting-the-Buyer-Beware On-Their-Own. 7. Encouraging-Ownership, at the expense of Sharing. 8.

Integrities-of-Persons & Integrities-of-Communities Are-Utterly-Interdependent and Cannot-be-Separated. --------------- Personal-Integrity is Impossible without Communal-Integrity. --------------- Communal-Integrity is Impossible without Personal-Integrity. --------------- To conceive One-Without-The-Other is to Play Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception. --------------- Playing Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception Destroys Both Personal-and-Communal Integrities-and-Integration-Processes. --------------- Shalom is the Way of Both.
