Humans define duties, responsibilities, and what should be done in many different ways - - - that involve different 
spectrums of risks, benefits and costs - - - to different spectrums of people.  "Either-Or" and "Yes-or-No" are often
Alienative-Tools that are inadequate for the circumstances at hand.  Spectrums-of-Alternatives are needed in order to
Mitigate-our-Alienative-Conflicts in the Gracious-Ways-of-Shalom where we can justly distribute risks, benefits and costs
in ways that support both Personal-and-Communal Present-Integrities and Present-Integration-Processes.

We need to Examine-and-Avoid Being-Stuck in Life-Styles which are Not-Long-Term-Sustainable and/or not Robust because of:

A. Unjust distributions of Spectrums of Costs-And-Benefits to Spectrums-of-People.
B. Tragically quick exhaustions of finite resources.
C. The fact that there are Limited-Pure-Resources in God's Astronomically-Tiny-Space-Ship-Earth.
D. Humans Exponentially-Growing Consumption-Patters for each Limited-Pure-Resource.
E. Human ignorance regarding the inevitable consequences of honoring Non-Sustainable Greedy-Life-Styles.
F. The costs of Honoring Domineering-Bullies' and Mobbing-Mobsters' Non-Sustainable Greedy-Life-Styles.
G. The costs of Honoring Alienative-Conflicts and/or Alienative-Life-Styles.
H. The costs of Trusting Dominant-Leaders in any Alienative: Conflicts, Processes and/or Life-Styles.
I. The costs of Trusting Simplistic-Idealists and their Unbalanced-Unintegrated Guiding-Principles-and-Motivations.
J. The costs of Trying-to-WIN any Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception.
K. The costs to the Crew of Space-Ship-Earth of not Mitigating-Their-Own-Alienative-Conflicts in timely ways.
L. The costs to the Crew of Space-Ship-Earth of not Mitigating Systemic-Patterns-of-Distributive-Injustices.
M. The costs to the Crew of Space-Ship-Earth of not Accentuating the Essential-Foundations of Personal/Communal Integrity.
N. The costs to the Crew of Space-Ship-Earth of not Mitigating-Violence-and-Coercion.
O. The costs to the Crew of Space-Ship-Earth of not Honoring True-Lovers working to Mitigate-Alienative-Conflicts, etc.
