Public-Behavioral-Standards    in   driving   on   Public-
Streets-  And-Highways are clearly essential to  Personal-
and-Communal integrity.     However that one fact does not
make   it   clear  that   enforcing    similar-behavioral-
standards  is   clearly essential to Personal-and-Communal
integrity in  all-other-realms.

Enforcing   any  set   of   Exclusive-Behavioral-Standards
is  bound  to entail risks of  engendering:    Resentment,
Anger,    Frustration   and   Alienation   whenever    the
Enforcement-Process demonstrates some combination of the:

 1.  Absence of empathy, sympathy and/or sensitivity.
 2.  Presence of coercion and/or domination.
 3.  Absence of understanding and/or mutuality.
 4.  Presence of greed and/or wealth concentrations.
 5.  Absence of gracious distributive justice.
 6.  Presence of arrogance and/or self-righteousness.
 7.  Absence of tolerance toward creative diversity.
 8.  Presence of pretence and/or secrecy.
 9.  Absence of generosity and/or hospitality.
10.  Presence of Pretentious-Exclusivity and Alienations.

True-Integrative-Standards  for true Personal-and-Communal
Integrity-and-Integrations are likely to:

 1.  Be in the nature of suggestions than of demands.
 2.  Graciously consider creative-individual-differences.
 3.  Graciously consider social environmental-contexts.
 4.  Encourage and facilitate open and honest dialogues.
 5.  Mitigate coercion, violence and domination.
 6.  Mitigate alienation, estrangement & excommunications.
 7.  Mitigate pretense, dishonesty, arrogance and hubris.
 8.  Encourage and facilitate generosity and hospitality.
 9.  Encourage and facilitate distributive justice.
10.  Encourage and facilitate international dialogues.

We   need  to  discern  the  motivations  and  desires  of
dominant   enforcers   of  behavioral-standards  that   in
practice  generate more alienations than  reconciliations.
Both  the standards and  the  enforcers of  the  standards
may  be generating  far more  occasions  of  Personal-and-
Communal  disintegrations; than  of  Personal-and-Communal
integrations.    Beware  of assuming  that  the fault lies
in  the   behaviors  of  True-Lovers  who   are   creative
and   integrative  in  the  Non-Conformal Gracious-Ways of
Shalom.

Setting     up    Mutually-Exclusive-Priorities     and/or
Rank-Ordering     of     Supporters-of-Mutually-Exclusive-
Priorities   is  bound  to  undermine  both  Personal-and-
Communal Integrations-and-Integrities.

     Be-Together in the Many-Gracious ways of Shalom.

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