If life is energized and directed by fears, then life is likely to be of low quality---dominated by conflicts and violence as insecure people seek to achieve security by defensive measures which cannot achieve their intended state of "security". Fears often focus upon possible: personal rejections, misfortunes, mistakes, criticisms, isolation, weaknesses, inadequacies, etc. Attending to such foci rarely leads to personal and communal integrity. If life is motivated and directed by external and/or internal duties, then life is likely to be dominated by fears that the duties are not adequately fulfilled---and so life is dominated by fears of some form of personal rejection. Compulsive preoccupations with duties rarely promote either personal or communal integrity. If life is motivated and directed by personal curiosity---much depends upon the quality of the communal contexts. Some communal contexts are bound to destroy curiosity and creativity; for they cannot tolerate honest curiosity or genuine creativity. Personal and communal integrity are not enjoyed within such contexts. When life is dominated by negative emotions; personal and communal disintegration are pervasive. Negative emotions include: anger, resentment, frustration, indignation and bitterness. It is dangerous to let our lives be dominated by such negative emotions and/or by their associated attitudes/assumptions. When life is self-centered and exclusive in its outlook; life is not meaningful and/or satisfying. True meaning, satisfaction and joy are associated with open and honest dialogue; and with being connected within communities of integrity with people who enjoy both personal and communal integrity. Such people are motivated by desires to promote personal and communal integrity---not by self-centered perspectives, assumptions and attitudes. When life is dominated by preoccupations with prescriptions, proscriptions and formulas for proper life styles---there is little joy, enjoyment, satisfaction or integrity. Life becomes a series of trials and tribulations punctuated by judgements, condemnations and excommunications---when dominant people's expectations are not satisfied. Life becomes a series of superficial appearances---rather than a colorful fabric of reality which is woven of many diverse threads of integration and connection. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
