     To  Enjoy-Shalom  we  need  to  be  clear  about  the
difference between our  vision-of-what-is-most-desired  in
the-long-term as regards the  nature  of our personal-and-
communal integrations-and-integrities --- and  short-term-
strategies-to-survive  or to move-us-forward   toward-the-
fulfillment of our most-coherent long-term-visions.

     The   above  is  Critically-Important  whenever   any
community    is   in   the   Transitional-Pains   of    an
Unsustainable-Paradigm-Collapsing   under  the  weight-of-
unsettling-facts that  it  cannot-yet-deal-with:   openly,
honestly,   coherently,  graciously,  charitably,  civily,
humbly, etc.

     The above transitions  can  be  seen  more clearly in
retrospect  by people born-after-the-transition ---   than
before Five-Percent  of the people  born-before-the-signs-
of-the-transition have  openly and honestly discussed  the
Emerging-Transition in public settings.

     We need to develop Understandings-of-And-Training for
making-use-of  Effective-Strategies  for Facilitating-the-
above-Transitions ---  in Ways-Which-Minimize  The-Overall
Kinds-Of  and  Extents-Of:    Pain,   Anger,   Resentment,
Alienation, Estrangement,   Prejudice,   Bias,  Ignorance,
Coercion, Violence, Injury, etc. --- Generated-During-the-
Transition.

     Only   Destructively-Domineering-People   are   Very-
Likely-to-Oppose  such Wise-and-Prudent-Efforts.   We  can
recognize such people in terms of this latter Fact-of-Life
--- and attempt to Respond-to-Them in Integrative Ways-of-
Shalom.

     Very-Few-People, if any, can be engaged creatively in
Clarifying-Our-vision of What-Is-Most-Desired in the Long-
Term  as regards  The-Nature  of our Personal-and-Communal
Integrations-And-Integrities  ---    While-Also-Concerned-
About  Short-Term-Strategies-To-Survive   or  to  Move-Us-
Forward   Toward-The-Long-Term-Fulfillment  of  our  Most-
Coherent Long-Term-Visions.

     We  are in Grave-Danger if we do  not  Affirmatively-
Welcome  the contributions of people who are  individually
Qualified-and-Disposed to play the Above-Contrasting-Roles
---   without trying to force any of them into a role  for
which they are Neither Qualified-Nor-Disposed to play.

     Be Graciously-Together in the Many-Ways-of-Shalom.

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