     There  is a sense in which domineering  people  covet
the   overt  meaning  of  people  saying/doing  what   the
domineering people want  them  to  say and/or do.  However
domineering    people   cannot   enjoy   their    victims'
affirmations of the overt meaning of saying/doing what the
domineering  people  want  ---  because coerced statements
and  behaviors  do  not mean the same thing  as  the  same
statements  and behaviors mean  when  the  statements  and
behaviors are initiated voluntarily/authentically.        
                                                          
     Domineering people often fail to acknowledge that the
received meanings of  statements and behaviors depend upon
many diverse factors:                                     
                                                          
     1.  The motivations of those who offer them.         
     2.  The motivations of those who receive them.       
                                                          
     3.  The language habits of those who offer them.     
     4.  The language habits of those who receive them.   
                                                          
     5.  The expectations of those who offer them.        
     6.  The expectations of those who receive them.      
                                                          
     7.  The communal contexts of those who offer them.   
     8.  The communal contexts of those who receive them. 
                                                          
     Domineering   people  often insist that they have the
power  to declare what the REAL meaning of statements  and
behaviors are ---  in  terms of only the  symbols used and
as interpreted exclusively by the domineering people.

                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
