     Different people often have quite different views  of
and  attitudes toward important realities.    Some  people
perceive  the realities pointed to below as TOOLS/MEANS to
independently  chosen goals.    Other people perceive  the
realities pointed to below as  inherently important in and
of  themselves.  The  fruits of such peoples'  labors  are
often  bitter-and-tragic;    or  sweet-and-fulfilling  ---
because of just how they perceive the realities pointed to
below:

     RITUALS             CEREMONIES          MEETINGS
     RELATIONSHIPS       COMMUNICATIONS      DIALOGUES

     VIRTUES             IDEALS              VALUES
     PRINCIPLES          LAWS                RULES

     The  qualities of our lives and deaths depend greatly
upon what our individual and shared views/attitudes toward
the   above realities are:   TOOLS/MEANS,  or   inherently
important in and of themselves.   DOMINEERING people  tend
to  view  the  pointed-to-realities as TOOLS/MEANS to  the
achievement  of their independently chosen goals.   Lovers
tend to view such realities  as  inherently  important  in
and of themselves.   Different attitudes and approaches to
the above realities lead to quite different outcomes.

     Domineering people are blocked by their attitudes and
paradigms  from showing reverence toward any of the  above
realities  ---   because they perceive themselves as being
above,   superior-to,   and  transcendent to each  of  the
realities pointed to above.

     Lovers do not fall into tragic patterns of attitudes,
thoughts  and relationships ---  because through  humility
they are free to be reverent in appropriate  circumstances
when   they   encounter  realities  which  are  in   truth
transcendent.   They  can be honest  with  themselves  and
other  people about  such transcendent realities.     They
feel no need to be pretentious on such occasions.
