People may include in their lives only those aspects of reality which are not in conflict with each other. To promote harmony by excluding conflicting elements is to play a game of mutual self deception. Such harmony and peace is not real, but rather an appearance achieved through dishonest exclusivity. The nice country club where only white members have a nice time together (in a city where over half of the population is black) is a country club which achieves the appearance of harmony through dishonest exclusivity. The nice church where only wealthy members arrange to have nice religious experiences together and confirm each other's salvation in the absence of poorer people, is a com-unity which is without real unity; and so the church is a lie because it achieves harmony through subtle forms of exclusivity. The logical profession which achieves the appearance of logic, reason and intelligence through the exclusion of the consideration of non-objective realities, is a collusive profession which is playing games of mutual self deception in its exclusive efforts to appear to have integrity. Integrity in the absence of balance, inclusivity, and love is a false appearance. It is not enough that a community be harmonious through the absence of conflict. It is not enough that all members of an exclusive community like each other and get along well with each other. It is not enough that there be no evident violence. Disintegration can be occurring at the boundaries of any coherent community by virtue of what is excluded. The internal appearance of integrity is a false pretense, if it is achieved through exclusivity which occasions disintegration at the boundaries of the community which only appears to have integrity. It is not enough that people inside the exclusive community perceive it to have integrity. The integrity is not real and honest, unless many people whose lives are lived mostly outside the community have good reason for regarding the community with respect; because of its open and honest ways of treating them with integrity. Communities with real integrity treat members of their larger community with honesty and integrity. Communities with only the appearance of integrity treat members of their larger community in exclusive ways which demonstrate the absence of true love. Beware of a false appearance of communal integrity, which is achieved through dishonest exclusivity designed to exclude conflict rather than resolve conflict. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
