The MORE: Special, Selective, Exclusive, Superior, Pure, Isolated, Powerful, Wealthy and Influential and "ON- GUARD" WE become - - - - the more likely WE will be to GENERATE-AND-SUSTAIN: Alienation, Conflicts, Contentions, Violence, Coercion, Dichotomies, Polarizations, Corruption, Destruction, and patterns of Domination. To the extent that the above patterns play major roles in OUR communities - - - the less Robust, Sustainable and Enduring OUR communities and OUR forms of "civility" and "civilization" will become. OUR Communities and Civilizations are likely to Disintegrate, Crumble and Fall in the absence of BOTH Communal-and- Personal Authentic-Integrities and Integrative-Processes in BOTH PUBLIC-AND-PRIVATE contexts and relationships. The Mitigation of OUR own Alienative-Conflicts will be Advanced-Augmented by the Communal/Personal Advantages pointed to above On-the-Right-Above; and will be Blocked-Undermined by the Privatized-Unbalanced-Advantages pointed to on the Left-Above. Be-Aware-Of and Beware of the Specialized-Isolated Long-Term-Advantages to wealthy and powerful small minorities! Be-Aware-Of and Beware-Of the Pervasive Long-Term-Disadvantages to most of the crew of God's Astronomically-Tiny Space-ship-Earth with its Finite-Supplies of Essential Pure-Materials and Concentrated-Forms-of-Energy!
