Domineering people cannot succeed at their collusive games of mutual self deception if they are honest, truthful, humble, kind, gracious, civil, hospitable, etc. They use and abuse traditional truths/rules as servants of their own new rules that they invent on a case by case basis. There is nothing that can be gained in any efforts to beat domineering people at their unfair kinds of games --- for to we must surrender our integrities to even begin playing their unfair kinds of games. To survive with integrity we must avoid playing their kinds of games according to their kinds of unkind and unfair rules. If we accept their assumption/attitude that domination is the goal of the game --- we and they lose any personal and communal integrities we have. God did not create people to be controlled, dominated or programmed by anyone in any way. The significance & meaning of humans and their relationships depends essentially upon their freedom to choose with whom to become involved in significant and meaningful relationships which are open, honest, truthful, humble, kind, gracious, civil, hospitable, gentle, mutual and balanced --- so long as they cooperate in building mutually satisfactory relationships in Love without coercion, violence or any form of arrogance or dishonesty.
