Domineering people are not truly committed to granting all people due process procedures when they are accused of "wrong-doing", "wrong-thinking" and/or "wrong-emotions". The above suggests that it is essential that there be a true agreement on what are the truly essential foundations and characteristics of healthy intimate relationships between people. In the absence of such agreement domination leads to personal and communal disintegrations and alienation; and estrangement grows exponentially. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
