     What are the contrasting perspectives of             
       PEACEMAKER LOVERS vs DOMINEERING SERVANTS ---      
         which so often put them on opposite sides        
           of conflicts over their ideals, values,        
             principles, goals, fears, hopes, visions,    
               aspirations?                               
                                                          
     Why is it that the two kinds of people so often      
       find themselves in conflict over dichotomous:      
         either/or, right/wrong, truth/falsehood,         
           righteousness/devilishness, obedience/sin,     
             integration/purification, love/alienation,   
               lovers/rescuers, liberators/controllers,   
                 faithfulness/conformation, God/Devil?    
                                                          
     What is at stake?  What are they fighting over?      
       Why can't they cooperate for mutual benefits?      
         Why do they see each other as enemies forever?   
           What are their contrasting ultimate concerns?  
             What differences separate their gods?        
                                                          
     PEACEMAKER LOVERS envision and work for the          
       development of: right-relationships, integration,  
         reconciliation, liberation, healing, health,     
           mutuality, balance, cooperation, honesty,      
             generosity, mutual-respect, relaxation,      
               renewal, mutual-empowerment, sharing,      
                 civility, mutual-revelation, tolerance,  
                   politeness, mutual-benefits, etc.      
                                                          
     DOMINEERING SERVANTS envision and work for the       
       DOMINATION SYSTEM in maintaining and augmenting:   
         laws and orders, controls and conformities,      
           self-righteousness and arrogant superiority,   
             loyalty and obedience, rights and slaves,    
               rites and magic, rituals and priests,      
                 addictions and codependent-supporters,   
                   collusions and right-appearances,      
                     classifications and cast-systems,    
                       advantages and disadvantages,      
                         the kingdoms with slaves.        
                                                          
     Their conceptions of the nature of                   
       The Kingdom of God are based upon                  
         mutually exclusive perceptions and beliefs       
           regarding what is: possible/desirable,         
             right/wrong, true/false, good/evil,          
               real/unreal, respectable/terrible, etc.    
                                                          
     DOMINEERING SERVANTS seek to maintain their kingdom  
       through domineering patterns of behavior which     
         engender alienation, estrangement, and both      
           personal and communal disintegration ---       
             so that confused people can be controlled.   
                                                          
     PEACEMAKER LOVERS seek to set each other free to     
       be true to themselves and each other in honest     
         and mutually pleasing cooperative ways which     
           benefit all members of their communities ---   
             with equity, justice, and sanctuaries for    
               all kinds of people who are members of     
                 mutually supportive families in Love.    
                                                          
     What is at stake is the integrities of all people    
       and their communities --- but not all of the people
         can see what are the essential foundations of    
           personal and communal integrities and of the   
             cooperative ways of promoting, facilitating  
               and maintaining their diverse integrities. 
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
