Usually they entail some powerful people seeking to dominate some less powerful people. 2. The people who are preoccupied with them are often emotionally immature, insecure, and unsure of themselves; AND unable to admit that such is the case. 3. They are in reality reflexive realities --- which relate to reflexive relationships within, between and among people; but some people cannot admit that the realities pertain to human relationships, rather than to facts which stand independently of any human relationships. 4. They pertain to questions of power, control and domination; rather than to questions of fact, accuracy, and truthful correspondence between communications and realities external to human affairs. It is troubling when collusive games of mutual self deception are played in regards to "absolute" truths. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
