Histories tend to be written by the dominant survivors --- who often fail to give accurate accounts of: the lives, views, ideas, ideals, perspectives, beliefs, integrities, and life styles --- of those who were dominated, oppressed, vanquished, destroyed, misunder- stood, reviled, etc. It is often hard to discern with any real degree of reliability the truth about participants in ancient conflicts --- or about the real nature of the roots of the conflicts. Sometimes small minorities learn how to deal with oppressive people without becoming oppressive people themselves. Some minorities learn to subvert and convert the world-view/paradigm of oppressive people; surprise them, and liberate them from their collusive games of violent mutual self deception. Some people transcend oppressive people's preoccupations with issues of control --- and help such people become people who learn to cooperate with each other --- and with those peoples whom they have oppressed as being beneath them. In his book "The Powers That Be" Walter Wink suggests that the very early Christians were such a gracious minority people --- before the Christian religion was itself subverted and became the state religion exercising oppressive powers and dispositions.
