     Many  people and communities tacitly take for granted
that  the amount of conflict-per-person will stay the same
---  leaving only the question  of who-will-win  and  who-
will-lose;   and  with  what  benefits-and-costs  to   the
perpetual-participants.

     Life would be  different for all people ---  were all
people  and  communities  to  challenge  the  above  tacit
assumptions;  and seek to mitigate the amount of conflict-
per-person in a multitude-of-cooperative ways.

     People  can-cooperate with-each-other even when  they
find that they have different: ideals, values, principles,
aspirations,  goals,  hopes, desires, fears, etc. ---  but
such cooperation is possible only where there are profound
committments to  affirm-the-essential-foundations of  both
personal-and-communal   integrations-and-integrities   ---
every day.

     Such  cooperation is possible only when  many  people
become  willing  to  give-up-on  and  to  let-go-of   many
technologies-to-achieve:    self-defense, domination-over-
others,    control-over-others, invulnerability,    power-
concentrations,    wealth-concentrations, respect, honors,
and high-self-esteem --- unilaterally wherever possible.

     Such  cooperation is possible only when  many  people
give-up-on  Alienative-Technologies  of all  kinds.    The
long-term-costs of Alienative-Technologies lead to tragic-
effects-which wipe-out all short-term-gains.

     Alienative-Technologies    destroy   the    Personal-
Integrities   and   Communal-Integrities  which  are   the
Essential-Foundations for  all the Authentic-Meaning which
Humans-Can-Enjoy.

     Alienative-Technologies  undermine the possibility of
Any-Enduring-Human-Enjoyments  because of  Disintegrative-
Alienations  and  because Human:   Integrities,   Meaning,
Integrities,    Enjoyments and  Authenticity    cannot  be
Achieved either Technocratically-or-Technologically.

     Human: Integrities, Meanings, Integrities, Enjoyments
and  Authenticity are Reflexive-Realities ---  rather than
Objective-Realities.    They  are enjoyed only within  the
contexts of Reflexive-Personal-Relationships;  not  within
the  context of Objective-Material-Relationships which can
be "engineered" and/or "controlled".

                         (c) 2006 by Paul A. Smith in
                      "Search for Honesty and Integrity"
                    (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy)
