In contrast, True-Lovers Find-and-Describe that it is Helpful to Facilitate-and-Promote Personal-and-Communal Integrations-and-Integrity --- While-Being-Authentically-Together within the Many- Gracious-and-Mutually-Satisfying Ways-of-Shalom. This fulfillment is possible only within-the-context of Open-and-Honest Acknowledgments-of and Dialogue-About --- Each-other's-Conceptions of how best to Clearly-and- Reliably Describe-and-Demonstrate differences between --- Honorable-Virtues and Dishonorable-Vices. These activities thrive in the ABSENCE-of-COMPULSIVE- PREOCCUPATIONS with --- Domination, Controls, Compulsions, Battles, Attacks, Defenses, Contests, Winning, Losing, Superiority, Inferiority, Perfection, Purity, Vulnerability, Invulnerability, Hierarchies, Ranks, Orders, Caste- Systems, Rewards, Punishments, Getting-Ahead, etc. Great-Civilizations Rise-and-Endure-Robustly only so long as the conditions described above are fulfilled as the Essential-Foundations of Authentic Personal-And-Communal Integrations-and-Integrities. Compulsive-Preoccupations with Formal-Alienative- Enforcements of: Prescriptions, Proscriptions, Rituals, Duties, Permissions, Prohibitions, Laws-and-Taboos --- Threaten-and-Undermine the Essential-Foundations of Authentic Personal-And-Communal Integrations-and- Integrities --- whenever Domineering-People work successfully to Concentrate Wealth-and-Powers into their own Greedy-Hands. Concentrations-of-Wealth-and-Powers corrupt those people into whose hands Power-and-Wealth are concentrated --- in proportion to How-Much-Disparity-There-Is in how much Wealth-and-Power Different-People-Control. ABSOLUTE-POWER CORRUPTS-ABSOLUTELY. No-One-Person and No-One-Coalition Can-With-Integrity be: Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, and/or Eternally In-Control of Absolute-Power-and-Wealth. No Such Corrupted-Being is Worthy of Reverence, Honor, or Worship. Such a Corrupted-Being is NOT-a-Servant-of Personal-or-Communal Integrations-and-Integrities. The above kinds of considerations need to be among our Primary-Foci in our Minds-Hearts-and-Dialogues. We need to think about and talk about which of the following Being-Well-Integrated-Together with each other most merit our: respect, honor, admirations, and support --- in light of true reverence toward and worship of God who is worthy of our FULL: respect, honor, admiration, support, reverence and worship. These considerations are Most-Reliably-Focused within diverse Informal-Well-Distributed-Public-Meetings --- rather than Concentrated-Within-Exclusive Formal-Meetings which can be Dominated-for-Private-Gain by a few Domineering-Experts Who-are-Superior-People. Such Informal-Well-Integrated-Public-Meetings will focus honestly, openly and graciously upon the diverse needs, perspectives, ideals, values, ideals, hopes and aspirations --- of ALL people present within TRUE: Friendships Intimacies Lovers Romancers Courters Marriages Families Tribes Villages Towns Cities States Nations Churches Religions Doctrines Fellowships Neighborhoods Clubs Hang-Outs Rituals Teachings Businesses Corporations Professions Confessions Paradigms Sciences Technologies Unions Communions Scholars The Most-Important-Realities are the Integrities-and- Authenticities of the Personal-RELATIONSHIPS Within-and- Among such groups of people --- wherever they may be found and in whatever conditions they may be found --- without exception. Our Central-Foci are Determined/Defined by which Virtues- and-Vices are Regularly-Affirmed and Demonstrated-as-Such Within-and-Among the RELATIONSHIPS among groups of people --- wherever they are found and in whatever conditions they are found --- without exception. These considerations of Integrities-and-Authenticities are Most-Reliably-Focused within Informal-Well-Integrated- Public-Meetings --- rather than Concentrated-Within-Semi- Public Exclusive-Formal-Meetings which are Dominated-for- Private-Gain by Domineering-Experts. Be-Together in the Many-Gracious ways of Shalom. (c) 2007 by Paul A. Smith in "Search for Honesty and Integrity" (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy) ========================================================== Click on WELCOME for a quick tour of essayz.com ==========================================================
