Following perverted priorities and ideals may be more wrong than actually doing forbidden acts. Laws and moral codes tend to focus upon prohibitions, saying what must not be done. Such prohibitions do not have the power to promote personal and communal integrity; they are barely safety nets to retard disintegration due to extremes of perverted behavior. Negativisms can rarely have genuinely positive results. The promotion of personal and communal integrity follows only from values, ideals and desires which are integrative in nature; leading people to set priorities in integrative ways. Integrity flows from making appropriate choices among alternatives. Disintegration flows from neglecting integrative opportunities in favor or other opportunities which are less integrative, even though not forbidden, illegal or obviously immoral. It is not enough to avoid the "no-noes". Salvation is not enjoyed by being innocent of crimes. Salvation is enjoyed by people caught up in integrative efforts. The question is not what did you do that was wrong. The question is what did you do which would have been more integrative? Feeding the hungary. Visiting the alienated. Clothing the vulnerable with security. Comforting the lonely. The question has to do with missed alternative opportunities which would have been more integrative than the alternatives chosen. It is impossible to fulfill all alternatives. It is possible to choose integrative alternatives over less integrative ones. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
