Faith and hope do not pertain to the accomplishment of certain goals. Faith and hope pertain to the meanings of life and death within hopeful communities. The destinies to which faith and hope pertain relate to the quality of living in open communities, rather than to possessions given to or earned by faithful or hopeful believers. Faith and hope relate to the eternal now, rather than to a distant future. Thus, real security is a present reality, not a mirage on a distant horizon or an unattainable pot of gold at the end of an insubstantial rainbow. Real security, is a gift enjoyed by those who do not selfishly seek to avoid vulnerability---because they care ultimately about the welfare of the largest known community. Ultimately a portion of a community which seeks to achieve security without ultimately caring about other portions of the largest community---thereby generates alienation and undermines genuine community. Thus the search for security is ultimately self defeating, defeating both the search and the seekers. This is the case regardless of the modality of techniques used---be they engineering, scientific, economic, psychological, cultural, political, liturgical, theological, or whatever. It is the manipulative intent and the lack of communal mutuality which undermines the search, not the modality of the search. Thus whoever compete in efforts to discover/create the proper techniques to achieve security, generate sin and insecurity through their efforts. Neither they, nor their followers receive the assurances which sustain those who accept appropriate faith and hope --- which give meanings to life and death within humane communities which sustain personal integrity. Security pertains to integrity. Integrity is not possible for an isolated individual nor for a community that is insensitive to, or uncaring about unique whole persons. Real integrity is both individual and communal, each complementing the other while being different from and a judgement upon the other. Neither is exclusive nor presumptuous---accepting for its own fulfillment from other what is lacking within self. Thus the whole is secure. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
