The essence of the whole within which health and integrity may be enjoyed is not found through fragmentation; rather it is to be found through reflexive consideration of the ways in which familiar healthy parts participate with integrity within a healthy whole. The word "analysis" carries connotations of fragmentation; taking a whole apart to see how it works. We need a word which points to a process of reflexive consideration of the ways in which familiar parts which have integrity participate in a larger whole with integrity. To use the word "analysis" to point to such a contrasting and different process is bound to generate confusion. The word "synthesis" points to a process of creating a whole where one has not existed before. We need a word which points to the development of an appreciation of the functioning of a whole by consideration of the ways in which familiar healthy parts participate within an existing whole with integrity. This process is a process of seeing more clearly the integrity which is already present, without in the process fragmenting the integrity which we would see more clearly if we could see it without fragmentive analysis. The paradigm of the elementary particle physicist does not point the way to such holistic perceptions. Knowing more and more about less and less during shorter and shorter fragments of time does not point the way to a holistic conception of the meaning and significance of healthy living. People who lead healthy lives in meaningful and honest personal relationships are more likely to point the way to a holistic conception of the meaning and significance of healthy living. We should let them lead the way and encourage them in their efforts. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
