There are many Virtues which are not Truly- Virtues in the absence of one-or-more Complementary- Virtues. The following suggests some significant, but not all significant, examples of Sets-of-Complementary- Virtues. (In the absence of specificity about circumstances --- it is impossible to specify all significant Sets-of-Mutually-Complementary-Virtues.) 1. Tenacity and Patience, 2. Conviction and Humility and Adaptability, 3. Certainty and Humility and Flexibility, 4. Enthusiasm and Balance and Mutuality, 5. Enthusiasm and Sensitivity and Empathy and Sympathy, 6. Persistence and Flexibility and Creativity 7. Generosity and Prudence and Wisdom, 8. Hospitality and Prudence and Wisdom, 9. Competence and Integrity and Authenticity, 10. Agility and Mutual-Cooperation. Which Sets-of-Virtues need to be the focus of our attention depends on many considerations: 1. The particular conflicts which are dominant at once. 2. The needs of particular people who have great needs. 3. The requirements of Distributive-Justice at once. 4. The imminent presence of tragedies/catastrophes. 5. What tragic-choices have-been or are being made. 6. Quickly evolving technologies and environments. 7. Advances in certain-scientific-descriptions. 8. Evolving conflicts between/among powers-that-be. 9. Evolving exhaustions of Natural-Resources. 10. Evolving astronomical threats to Space-Ship-Earth. 11. Current patterns of Concentrations-of-Powers/Wealth. 12. Current patterns of Alienations-and-Misunderstanding. 13. Playing of Particular Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception. 14. Current Dominant Addictions-and-Codependencies. 15. Current Threats by Military-Industrial-Complexes. 16. Current Threats by Dominant-Corporations/Nations. 17. Current Threats by Dominant-Professions/Religions. 18. Current Threats by Dominant-Empires/Dictators. 19. Current Threats by Patterns of Ignorance/Greed. 20. Current Threats by Patterns of Arrogance/Hubris. We need to learn from our own experience the contexts within which particular Mutually-Complementary-Sets-of- Virtues are NOW essential to Personal-and-Communal Integrations-and-Integrities --- and then Graciously-Share with Each-Other what we have learned. We need to lear to recognize that different people in their own different contexts will perceive each Mutually- Complementary-Set-of-Virtues differently --- because of their different contexts --- their perspectives will be different. People on the East-Side of a mountain perceive the mountain from a different perspective than do people on the West-Side of that same mountain --- and they will see something quite different from what the others see. Given most any SET-of-Mutually-Complementary-Virtues, the SET may Well-Be-Perceived-Differently by: 1. Young-People and Old-People. 2. Scientific-Researchers and Religious-Fundamentalists. 3. Rich-People and Poor-People. 4. Jews, Christians, Muslims, and Far-East-Religions. 5. Militarists and Pacifists. 6. Macho-Men and Active-Feminists. 7. Self-Righteous-People and Humble-People. 8. Domineering-People and True-Lovers. 9. Militarists and Pacifists. 10. Non-Violent-Resistors and Violent-Resistors. 11. Simple-People and Sophisticated-People. 12. People living within Significantly-Different-Cultures Domineering-People may well try to Control-Other-People's- Perceptions of SETS-of-Mutually-Complementary-Virtues --- and will thereby Affirm-and-Demonstrate Alienative-Ways- of-Behaving --- leading to Tragic-Outcomes for many people --- Including-Themselves. The Ancient-Written-Records of the Many-Generations-Past cannot have been based upon significant experiences which correspond closely to our Modern-Experiences of: 1. Global-Warming and Increases in Major-Storms. 2. Rising-Ocean-Waters on the Shores of Most-Peoples. 3. The Challenges of Peak-Oil-Extraction and thereafter. 4. The Future Challenges of Peak-Coal-Production & etc. 5. The Current Challenges of Peaking-Natural-Gas Usage. 6. Risks of Mutually-Assured Global-Global-Destruction. 7. Growths in Population AND Per-Capita-Consumption. 8. Unsustainable-Global-Practice of Resource-Consumption 9. Inflexible-Theological-Affirmations vs Science's-Ways 10. Mutually-Exclusive-Ideals-Values-Principles in LOVE. Be-Together in the Many-Gracious ways of Shalom. (c) 2007 by Paul A.
