They may view themselves: 1. As anointed by God to carry out God's will to control people to assure that they do God's will for them. 2. As having been given the privilege and right to control other people, with advantages appropriately coming to the controllers. 3. As having been given the heavy duty to take control of others---in order to achieve some assigned goal. 4. As burdened with heavy responsibilities which entail the responsibility to control much which is difficult to control---but they are responsible citizens who are willing to bear such heavy responsibilities when called upon to do so. 5. As free to dominate whomever they choose to dominate, because they are more powerful than those whom they choose to dominate. 6. As defending themselves and their rights against enemies who threaten to deprive them of what is rightfully theirs. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
