     Domineering people often believe that they can  bring
an  end  to  their  hostilities  by  over-powering  and/or
eliminating  those  people who oppose them and/or stand in
their way;    i.e.,  eliminating other  domineering people
and/or strange peacemakers    who  resist  domination   of
all  kinds   by different kinds of people.                
                                                          
     Domineering  people commonly believe that they are so
good  that  they can avoid corruption  and  disintegration
through  the  concentration of all  power to dominate  ---
into their own hands,   and/or into the hands of those few
people whom they still trust.                             
                                                          
     In keeping  with  the  above  beliefs --- domineering
people see no good reason  for  having  to put up with the
complications  and  messiness of having to  deal  honestly
with:                                                     
                                                          
     1.  Cooperation with strange/unfamiliar people.      
     2.  Complementary considerations.                    
     3.  Multiple and competing priorities.               
     4.  Listening to people of differing perspectives.   
     5.  Rules about honesty, civility and hospitality.   
     6.  Rules about arrogance and self-righteousness.    
     7.  Other people's rights to be honestly different.  
     8.  Their own finitude, limits and imperfections.    
     9.  Differing perspectives, ideals and values.       
    10.  The possibility that they have made a mistake.   
                                                          
     The   above   pattern   of   beliefs/attitudes   lead
domineering  people  to  think and behave  in  ways  which
undermine  mutual  understanding,  balance,  dialogue  and
cooperation   ---     and  so domineering people aggravate
contentiousness,   conflicts,   and  violence.       Their
paradigm  does not  offer any effective ways  to  mitigate
contentiousness,  conflicts, or violence.
