When we are truly dedicated to Mitigating Our-Own Alienative-conflicts - - - we need to beware of ANYONE who is COMPULSIVE-PREOCCUPIED with the following kinds of realities: Who-Owns-What? Possessions! Who-is-in-Control? The-Economy! Superficial-Appearances! Who-Gets-Credit? Concentrations-of-Wealth! Concentrations-of-Powers! Who-is-Dominant? Who-is-Evil? Who-is-Good? Who-is-Superior? Who-may-become-a-Traitor? Who-is-Inferior? Rank-Ordering-People! Who-is-the-Enemy? Who-is-Pure? How-to-get-more? How-to-be-Safe? Who-is-Best? How-to-Be-Sure-To-WIN? How-to-be-FREE? How-to-be-INVULNERABLE? How-to-Prevent-Change? How-to-Be-Secure? How-Live-For-Ever? How-Eliminate-EVIL? What-is-EVIL? Who is PERFECT? Who-is-IMPERFECT? Who-is-Vulnerable? How-to-BE-PERFECT? Commandments! Perfect Laws! Demands! Proprieties! Required-Formalities! Permissions! Revolutions! Loyalty-to-Dominators! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If we are COMPULSIVELY-PREOCCUPIED with any of the above kinds of realities - - - We CANNOT sustain a healthy CIVIL-COMMUNITY/CIVILIZATION. Within the context of any such COMPULSIVE-PREOCCUPATION it makes little difference if we Win-or-Lose any contests, competitions, battles or wars; or what rank we may achieve/keep! Within the context of any such COMPULSIVE-PREOCCUPATION Alienations-Grow-and-Undermine the Health, Integrity and Sustainability of the Civilization within God's Space-Ship-Earth. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THINK TOGETHER in SHALOM! Be-Together within Shalom's Sanctuaries Discerning through Open-and-Honest-Dialogues - - - What-IS and What-is-NOT ESSENTIAL-TO-CIVILITY-AND-SUSTAINABLE-CIVILIZATIONS!
