     Domineering-people often succeed in getting  not-yet-
domineering  people  to  become domineering-people ---  by
tricking  not-yet-domineering people to accept the  notion
that all important questions call for yes or no answers.

     Domineering-people   can  more  successfully   defeat
neophyte-domineering-people  than they  can  defeat  true-
lovers   who   are  not  yet  mature-lovers.     Neophyte-
domineering-people  are  not likely to be fully  committed
to  the  attitudes and  assumptions  of  long-experienced-
domineering-people;  and so fail  in  contests  over   who
will   be  dominant,   and  if necessary who will  destroy
their enemies.

     Once  people have bought-into the assumption that all
important  questions  call for yes or  no  answers;    the
people  will  be   willing to let go of all but  the  most
extreme  ends   of  the  spectrum   of  possibilities  for
resolving  conflicts;  i.e.,    they  will choose  between
extreme   domination  and extreme submission.     Excluded
from   consideration  will   be  all   of  the   following
possibilities;   because they are not at the extreme  ends
of  the spectrum of possibilities.   All of the  following
possibilities are best fulfilled well  in advance of   the
actual  emergence  of  conflicts  between people. Engaging
in  these  activities  will  lay  the foundations for non-
violent  resolution of conflicts and so for the  avoidance
of the terrifying  and terrible costs of war.   It will be
prudent,   wise and cost-effective to teach many  children
and young people in each community:

     1.  The  languages,  cultures,  political traditions,
sciences and patterns  of religious expression of  diverse
people  with  whom  they are likely  to  interact  in  the
future.

     2.  The  skills needed by  diplomats  and negotiators
---   so that as adults they will be  able  to help  frame
and  resolve  questions  to  the  mutual  satisfaction  of
those people who find themselves involved in conflict.

     3.  How to  recognize  and  deal with extremism which
flows   from   the  more  common  forms  of   mental   and
physiological  diseases  and  dis-ease;  e.g.,   forms  of
addiction, codependence, narcissism, domination, paranoia,
dichotomous-thinking, etc.

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
