      Many  issues  of disagreement  between  Domineering-
People and True-Lovers have-revolve around questions about
the INCLUSION-WITH-POWER or EXCLUSION-WITHOUT-POWER of:

      1.  PEOPLE of a particular class; e.g.,
          a.  Women,
          b.  People of a particular "color" skin,
          c.  People of a particular nationality,
          d.  People born in particular places,
          e.  People of a particular "culture",
          f.  People of a particular "religion",
          g.  People of a particular "cast"
          h.  People of a particular "extended-family",
          i.  People of a particular "life-style".

      2.  A ground for AUTHORITY; e.g.,
          a.  A particular collection of "scriptures",
          b.  A particular collection of "traditions",
          c.  A particular famous writer/scholar,
          d.  A particular new academic "discipline",
          e.  Ancient versus modern "experiences",
          f.  Ancient versus modern "perceptions",
          g.  Ancient versus modern "understandings",
          h.  Individual versus collective "views",
          i.  Arbitrary versus coherent "descriptions",
          j.  Prejudicial versus informed "views",
          k.  Capricious versus kind "attitudes",
          l.  Provincial versus cosmic "insights",
          m.  Rational versus intuitive knowledge,
          n.  Magical versus scientific paradigms,
          o.  Spiritual versus physical considerations,
          p.  Objective, subjective or reflexive views.

      3.  A form-of-government and/or wealth-sharing:
          a.  Tribe,
          b.  City,
          c.  State,
          d.  Nation,
          e.  Confederation,
          f.  Federation,
          g.  Empire,
          h.  Democracy,
          i.  Dictatorship,
          j.  Fascism,
          k.  Socialism,
          l.  Capitalism,
          m.  Theocracy,
          o.  Autocracy, etc.

      Domineering-people seek to CONCENTRATE-POWER.

      Domineering-people  refuse  to  be open  and  honest
about   the   ways  in  which   CONCENTRATING-POWER  leads
inevitably to:

      A.  Corruption,
      B.  Graft,
      C.  Greed,
      D.  Alienation,
      E.  Misunderstandings,
      F.  Contentiousness,
      G.  Ignorance,
      H.  Mistakes,
      I.  Blunders,
      J.  Disintegrations,
      K.  Attacks,
      L.  Threats,
      M.  Denigrations,
      N.  Tragedies, etc.

      True-Lovers  SEEK  to be open and honest  about  the
above ways  in which CONCENTRATING-POWER leads  inevitably
to  the  above consequences.   Domineering people seek  to
prevent  such  efforts   to-facilitate-and-promote   such-
openness-and-honesty.

      Domineering people make the mistake of thinking that
goodness  and  salvation have to do with conformity,   and
that  they through domination  can  make people  become/be
good;    and  perhaps  good-domineering-people  can   earn
"points"  toward  getting into "heaven" by being  dominant
in "good"  ways.   Such beliefs/convictions lead to tragic
patterns  of alienation,  excommunication,   estrangement,
sin, and EVIL-RELATIONSHIPS.

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
