On being whole

A thing is whole
        according to how free it is of inner contradictions.
When it is at war with itself,
        and gives rise to forces which act to tear it down,
                it is unwhole.
The more free it is of its own inner contradictions,
        the more whole and healthy and wholehearted it becomes.
