The most helpful ways involve being role models who demonstrate through personal incarnation various good ways of being persons of integrity working to promote both personal and communal integrity. Such good ways entail affirmations of the mutually complementary ideals, value and principles which form the fabric of a healthy community. People serve graciously to help each other in cooperative ventures. The rich and powerful --- help the poor and powerless --- to take better care of themselves and each other in mutually supportive ways. Less helpful ways involve dominant people in competitions for being outstanding in domination, demands, dictations, commands, requirements and coercive support of "The Domination System". In tragic ways people compete for being "better", "best", "good", "perfect", "invulnerable", "on top", "in-charge", "commander", etc. The rich and powerful help each other to get and keep more for themselves in mutually supportive ways; at the expense of the poor, weak, sick and vulnerable --- then the powerful cast the poor, weak, sick and vulnerable in the role of lazy, incompetent and unworthy fools who merit no respect or consideration.
