Some of the most challenging threats to our personal and communal integrations and integrities - - - take the form of 
Systemic-Absences.  It is more difficult to "see" that-which-is-absent, than it is to see what is irritatingly-present.

Yet it is important to consider the threats to our integrities due to the ABSENCE OF any of the following realities:


Love      Generosity  Hospitality Knowledge  Dialogue  Listening     Honesty      Empathy   Mutuality    Understanding   

Balance   Gentleness  Grace       Sympathy   Healing   Forgiveness   Tenderness   Patience  Forbearance  Joy


Bullies and Mobbing-Mobsters often achieve their greedy purposes, by tricking us into accepting the ABSENCE of the above
realities as being: normal, natural, necessary, nice, etc.   We get to the point that by habit we feel that the absences
are: normal, proper, helpful, required and keys to our success.


In fact, we often get to the point that it seems to us that the "absences" are essential and necessary; and that the
contrasting "presences" are: distractions, debilitating, intolerable and offensive - - - which in fact they are - - -
to Domineering-Bullies and Mobbing-Mobsters and to their Life-Styles.

In the instances of the above absences - - - we need to recognize what essential foundations for personal and communal
integrations and integrities are absent; and to say why they are essentials to healthy living - - - because they play
essential roles in all people's efforts to Mitigate Their-Own Alienative-Conflicts and the Bitter-Fruits-Thereof.
