Integrity resides in coherence of ideals. Where ideals are incoherent there is not integrity and violence is likely to be present. Whenever operative ideals are incoherent, you can not be sure how people will behave, and in the face of that uncertainty people tend to be on the defensive. Security resides in the confidence that your own integrity will not be violated; therefore you need not be on the defensive. The act of going on the defensive undermines security because defensiveness undermines integrity by injecting incoherent ideals into the fabric of the community. Security through personal and communal integrity are enjoyed by members of communities who enjoy coherence among their ideals. Conflicts occur between communities whose ideals do not cohere with each other. When such conflicts exist such incoherent communities are parts of a larger community which lacks integrity and is characterized by inter-community violence which may include war. The ideal of achieving integrity within just a part of the global community is inadequate. Global security is impossible without global integrity which involves members of all global communities enjoying coherence in their ideals. Conflicts occur within individuals whose ideals do not cohere internally within each individual. Individuals may internalize ideals which are in conflict with each other and/or with essential needs of the individuals themselves. Such internalizations undermine personal integrity and thereby undermine communal integrity and security. People and communities that lack integrity need to seek coherence in their ideals through profound conflict resolution pertaining to their diverse ideals, ideas, values, and principles. They can not help themselves by seeking more advanced technologies as means to achieve their incoherent ideals which are in conflict with each other. Such technologies will only make the costs of the conflicts greater, up to and including the possible cost of extinction. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
