Be-Aware  of  and Beware of Domineering-Bullies and  their
Prescriptions/Proscriptions  which Demand-Conformity  to a
Narrowly-Defined set of: Attitudes, Beliefs,  Recitations,
Symbolic-Rituals, Assumptions, Exclusions, Loyalties, etc.

No matter how respectable and honorable the above are made
to  look with honors,  rewards,  vestments,  praise,   and
concentrations of wealth and powers ---  They-are-TRAPS by
which   Domineering-Bullies  Concentrate-Wealth-and-Powers
into their own hands.

Healthy-and-Integrative   Guides  and  Guidelines  involve
people in:

 1.  Open-and-Honest-Dialogues about  wide ranges of True-
Creative-Possibilities  as  regards  CLUSTERS of:   ideas,
ideals, values, visions, principles, hope & aspirations.

 2.  Explorations  through  Mutually-Complementary   Life-
Styles   which   MITIGATE   Alienative-and-Disintegrative:
Behaviors,  Demands, Controls, Constraints,  Estrangement,
Greed,  Diseases,  Intolerance,  Concentrations-of-Wealth,
Concentrations-of-Powers,  Patterns-of-Exclusivity, Fears,
Anxieties, Hopelessness, Manipulations, Violence, etc.

 3.  Being-Graciously-Together  within the  Many-Gracious-
Ways-of-Shalom augmenting patterns of mutual understanding
and appreciation.

 4.  Learning  to Appreciate each other's Unique  Cultures
and  Heritages  as Mutually-Complementary to  each  other;
rather than in competition with each other for dominance.

 5.  Learning from past blunders, mistakes, and Tragically
Simplistic-Ideologies -- in terms of their Bitter-Fruits.

 6.  Learning from their own and each other's  EXPERIENCES
through  gracious  consideration of what led  people  into
THEM and what were the NET-COSTS-and-BENEFITS of  THEM ---
for ALL who were AFFECTED by THEM.

 7.  Learning which Patterns-of-Consequences are  Regular-
And-Immutable ---  and which Patterns-of-Consequences  can
be changed by  Different-Choices  made by Individuals-and-
Communities.

 8.  Learning to recognize,  acknowledge and clarify which
Resources-Are-Finite ---  placing immutable limits on what
people  can do;  and which Resources-Can-be-Augmented  far
beyond what has been imagined and demonstrated so far.

 9.  Learning how to recognize,  encourage and honor  only
long-term-sustainable life-styles --- in the light of the
above.

10.  Learning how to offer guidance to each other in terms
of Coherent-Clusters-of-Virtues which will serve all of us
together in Robust-Life-Styles long into the future.

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

                         (c) 2008 by Paul A. Smith in
                      "Search for Honesty and Integrity"
                    (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy)
