Introduction Viewpoints can often be as complex or incohesive as one's own personality.Yet all these traits, despite their confusion or incoherence, blend symbiotically and their differences and similarities overall enhance richness. In similar manner, human environments & the myriad issues affecting our world exhibit wide varieties of pushes, pulls, & seemingly uncontrollable or random occurances. Some traits of course seem not to fit well in the bowl.Should these be tossed out, or kept in and how? Our physical senses help us to extract & discern whatever is contained in the salad bowl. Similarly through knowledge & reflection, our senses of reasoning and instincts help us probe the mines of our persons, thoughts, societies, and other forms of organized (or disorganized) order.
