The LOVE/HATE relationships between lovers and domineering supporters of "The Domination System" are deeply rooted in ESSENTIAL CONFLICTS between their contrasting: assumptions, attitudes, mythologies, cosmologies, ideas, ideals, values, principles, hopes, and aspirations. They are not mutually complementary. They are not paradoxically complementary. ===================================================== Supporters of "The Domination System" cannot be faithful idolaters working in support of their god --- and at the same time be faithful lovers working cooperatively in support of the One God of: Reconciliation, Non-violence, Hospitality, Gentleness, Creativity, Generosity, Liberation, Humility, Openness, Civility, Honesty, Healing, Shalom, Peace, Grace, Love. ===================================================== True Lovers cannot be faithful to themselves, each other and their neighbors in need --- and at the same time be EXTREMISTS defending "The Domination System" by working contentiously to DEFEND all TERRORISTS' essential: addictions and networks-of-codependent-supporters, sowing of seeds of dis-ease, illness, and disease, sacrifices of personal and communal integrities, collusive games of mutual self deception, excommunications of self from others, promotions of suspicion and distrust, repressions of desires for intimacy, uses of coercion and violence, mandatory prescriptions, exclusive proscriptions, unilateral commandments, fallen "Powers That Be", inhibitions of truth, pretentious ways, arrogant demands, exclusivity, intolerance, suspicions, anxieties + fears; that they hold and own. ===================================================== It is to be noted that the vast majority of coercion and violence occurs between domineering supporters of "The Domination System"; not between true lovers on one side and supporters of "The Domination System" on the opposite side. The vast majority of coercion and violence occurs between people who are alienated from each other; people who are involved in EVIL-RELATIONSHIPS; i.e., RELATIONSHIPS which are characterized by alienation, estrangement, misunderstandings, ignorance, prejudice, distrust, anxiety, fear, arrogance, pretense and dishonesty. True lovers do not engage in WARS on TERRORISM in the manner of the coercive and violent domineering people. True lovers MITIGATE-TERROR by being NON-VIOLENT true lovers, not by the use of coercion and violence against their perceived enemies. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
