Fear is integrative if it is the kind of fear which helps us avoid disintegrative natural consequences which are not engendered by disintegrative people. Wise people know the difference between disintegrative fears and integrative fears. We become the victims of manipulative people if we are confused by them and do not know how to distinguish disintegrative fears from integrative fears. It is disintegrative to hand tools of manipulation to manipulative people because we fear them and their manipulations. Respecting dishonest people when they are using dishonesty as a tool by which to manipulate us --- makes us co-colluders with them in their victimization of us. Respecting dishonesty as a tool of control by which to control anybody --- is handing a tool of manipulation to disintegrative people---and engenders evil relationships. Respecting preoccupations with the control of people and their personal relationships --- is handing tools of manipulation to disintegrative people. Manipulative people and relationships are not worthy of respect, and we become manipulative people trapped in manipulative relationships when we do respect manipulative people, relationships, ideals and values.
