Legitimate fears are not engendered or controlled by domineering people in the service of "The Domination System". 2. Legitimate fears are rooted in well informed concerns about consequences which flow naturally from what will undoubtedly happen under certain circumstances which can be avoided --- if prudent humane steps are taken to avoid those certain circumstances. 3. FUTILE FEARS are engendered by domineering people and used by domineering people as "handles" with which to manipulate, manage, control and dominate vulnerable people. 4. FUTILE FEARS are rarely described openly and honestly in efforts to mitigate them --- for according to the hidden rules of "The Domination System" they must be kept hidden, mysterious, and apparently the natural and inevitable consequences of any violation of "holy" rules, laws, and commandments --- which are in reality managed by domineering people who are in the service of "The Domination System". Above --- wherever FEARS are mentioned one can as well mention GUILT or SHAME --- for domineering people engender, generate, use and abuse all three realities in ways which do not merit honor, respect or support. We need to recognize, name, describe, be aware of, and beware of those ways of being domineering --- and of undermining both personal and communal integrity. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
