     When domineering people seek to "include" us         
       in their "plans" we need to discern the nature of  
         their "plans":                                   
                                                          
                                                          
     1.  Are they seeking to achieve particular political 
     goals through political and/or military means and    
     techniques?                                          
                                                          
     2.  Are they living in some fantasy world of which   
     we  are  not aware or are barely aware ---  and  they
     want us to be props in some fantasy drama managed by 
     them on the cosmic stage of their fantastic world?   
                                                          
     3.  Are they seeking to manage the course of history 
     or some mythic story which has cosmic significance?  
                                                          
     4.  Are they professional engineers trying to build  
     a road, bridge, building, or electronic network ---  
     and in need of our engineering skill and knowledge?  
                                                          
     5.  Do they want us to be members of the audience    
     in a theater of the absurd --- to help them feel that
     they are not absurd in their management of their     
     theater of the absurd.                               
                                                          
     6.  Do they want us to admire their ability to       
     dominate others through coercion, threats and bombs? 
                                                          
     7.  Do they want to make us to believe, and conform  
     in ways which they regard as of ultimate value       
     and reliability; even though we regard them as       
     crazy and very dangerous.                            
                                                          
     If we do not understand how domineering people view  
     themselves and us --- it is difficult to deal with   
     them in ways which are wise and prudent.  We have    
     to think outside of our own limited boxes in order   
     to understand domineering people and what it is that 
     they are trying to do to us, or with us.             
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
