While trusted intimate others may be granted access to some aspects of their private selves, such access is not casually granted to all! Collusive and domineering people rarely make distinctions between their public selves and their private selves --- because under the terms of their servitude to "The Domination System" --- all aspects of their selves must be open to all faithful servants of "The Domination System" --- else they cannot keep each other fully faithful through coercive domineering methods which entail/require knowing which commandments are being violated privately. The distinctions between public and private selves must be eliminated --- for "The Domination System" to survive "with integrity." Collusive and domineering people are playing collusive games of mutual self deception. They as persons cannot win at such games, unless they can conceal certain aspects of themselves from each other; e.g., concealing their own failures to be thoughtlessly faithful to "The Domination System". (Never mind that this is inconsistent with what was said just above. Consistency and integriy are not essential.) They cannot be honest with each other about the distinctive aspects of themselves as individuals, because all aspects of themselves must be in conformity to "The Truth" of "The Domination System". However, they cannot be clear about the differences between their private aspects and their public aspects. Thus they fall into the trap of being dishonest about aspects of themselves which are truly "in-common" with most people. What are they to do about such obvious dishonesty --- when what is truly "in-common" among people is pointed out. Creative dishonesty is in order, but it is tiring as they have to move from half-truths to quarter truths, to eighth-truths, etc. They can never relax or enjoy recreation. They are kept busy concealing previous instances/layers of dishonesty! We cannot know for sure whether a person is a person of integrity, without entering with them into a personal relationship which is an integrative relationship; i.e., one which facilitates and promotes the integrity of all of the participants in the relationship. Thus, domineering people cannot truly determine whether other people are persons of integrity --- for domineering people cannot with integrity enter into a personal relationship, which is an honest integrative relationship; for their ways are founded upon domination, coercion, deception, collusions, and dishonesty. As long as they cling to "The Domination System", domineering people will remain ignorant about the inner lives of people and communities of integrity. They lead tragic lives and drag others into their tragic lives. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
