     The   most  Domineering,   Contentious  and   Violent
communities teach young people through myths,  stories and
expectations that:

     1.  Individuals must Defend-Themselves.
     2.  Self-Defense entails Counter-Attacks.
     3.  You have a Duty-To-Teach Bullies-a-Lesson.
     4.  Only Weak-People Fail-to-Defend-Themselves.
     5.  Assertiveness is always Better-than-Cooperation.
     6.  Violence can be mitigated by Using-Violence.
     7.  Coercion can be mitigated by Using-Coercion.
     8.  Domination can be mitigated by Using-Domination.
     9.  Dishonesty can be mitigated by Using-Dishonesty.
    10.  Arrogance can be mitigated by Being-Arrogant.

     Myths, stories and expectations are what give meaning
and significance to people's lives.

     Myths, stories and expectations that give meaning and
significance   to  people's  lives  do  NOT   focus   upon
descriptions of Objective-Facts.   Myths often ignore (pay
no attention to) many Well-Established-Objective-Facts, in
order  to effectively  give meaning  and  significance  to
people's lives  in Reflexive-Ways   which Reflect-Upon how
people have  been  together   in  Mutually-Satisfying-Ways
which  Reflect-Back-And-Forth  upon  Each-Other's-Ways  of
Being-Present-to-Each-Other.   Objective-Facts are  rarely
to primary focus of a Powerful-Myth.

     Any  emphasis upon Self-Defense generates  Feed-Back-
Loops   which   AUGMENT:    Contentiousness,     Coercion,
Competition, Conflict, Violence, Domination,  Destruction,
and  Disintegrations of The-Essential-Foundations of  Both
Personal and Communal Integrations-and-Integrities.

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