The maintenance of the conflicts and violence is essential to keeping the nature of the collusive games of mutual self deception hidden. To resolve conflicts and reduce incidents of violence we must deal openly and honestly with the nature of the conflicting ideals, values, principles, and goals of the people who are in conflict and violent relationships. However, dealing openly and honestly with such realities will inevitably expose to the light of honest conversations just how collusions operate to hide the horrible truth about the consequences of the continued existence of the collusions. Thus the maintenance of the conflicts and violence is essential to keeping hidden the nature of the collusive games of mutual self deception. To resolve conflicts and to reduce violence we must find ways to create secure contexts within which we and our enemies can be honestly vulnerable in conversations about our conflicting ideals, values, principles and goals. Such honest will expose our respective collusive games of mutual self deception which constantly work to maintain our conflicts and violence as screens behind which to hide our dishonesties.
