That one reflexive-reality takes for granted that it is good for people to conform to just one IDEAL-FORM of being a "good" individual-person as regards how conforming-ideal-persons set priorities within the realms of virtues and vices. Consider two key questions: 1. Which VIRTUES should get the most attention in favorable ways which entail: affirmations, en- couragement, role-modeling, honor, respect, demons- trations, instruction, complementation, complementation, etc? 2. Which VICES should get the most attention in ways which entail: repression, suppression, prohibitions, taboos, punishments, denigrations, etc? Consider some responses to the two key questions: A. "The Domination Paradigm" takes for granted that all individuals should conform to just one ideal-form of being a good individual. B. "True-Lovers" take for granted that many different individuals are suited to being "True Lovers" in many different ways which entail different combinations of priorities as regards affirmations of essential integrative virtues and mitigations of disintegrative- vices. An integrative community of "True Lovers" is exploring ways to put-together a whole coherent community of mutually-complementary "True Lovers" --- demonstrating in word-patterns and behavior-patterns an integrative overall pattern of diverse ways to affirm integrative-virtues and mitigate disintegrative-vices. - - - - - - - - A. "The Domination Paradigm" takes for granted that it is essential for them to use coercive and violent methods to force individuals to conform to the one mandatory ideal form for a GOOD-INDIVIDUAL and/or for a GOOD-RELATIONSHIP. B. "True-Lovers" take for granted that it is essential to graciously work to mitigate (to the extent possible under the natural laws of the cosmos which can not be controlled by mortals) the use of coercive, violent and alienative methods to achieve any goal, purpose or plan; especially any unilateral goal, purpose or plan. - - - - - - - - A. "The Domination Paradigm" empowers individuals to concentrate power so as to take control of persons-as- individuals and take control of intimate-relationships --- so as to guarantee the fulfillment of their own conceptions of their Ideal-Forms. B. "True-Lovers" seek to contribute graciously to building up of the communal integrity --- by offering appropriate affirmations of tragically-absent-essential- virtues --- and suggesting/demonstrating kind steps toward the mitigation of tragically-present-alienative-vices --- depending upon: Their own honest views of the "whole-picture" of the current community --- as best they can discern it with its present virtues and vices. Their own available: insights, understandings, time, talents, resources, etc. Their understanding of how best to work to mitigate OUR-EVIL-RELATIONSHIPS which are characterized by: alienation, anger, distrust, secrecy, dishonesty, ignorance, misunderstandings, arrogance, self-righteousness, contentiousness, coercion, violence, etc. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
