Domineering people often want their judgments and condemnations to be publicly known --- so as to victimize their intended target people. Such knowledge gives recipients of the knowledge --- solid ground for becoming aware of how and why they should judge the domineering people's behaviors as unfit for honor, respect and support --- because of how the judgments and condemnations occasion alienation, estrangement and disintegration. Those who know the effects and affects are free to use that knowledge to understand and subvert the alienative behavior --- by gently and graciously sharing their knowledge and insights with other people in private. Personal communications which are shared in private can often be more powerful and influential --- than can arrogant, self-righteous and pompous public communications. Domineering people who are self-righteous, arrogant and pompous --- often swagger, stagger and stumble --- before they fall. They are unbalanced and unstable. Their friends cannot truly rely on them --- because they are alienated from people who are balanced, well informed and wise. Domineering people rarely listen attentively to their most profound critics, and so cannot learn much from profound critics. People who have stopped learning from their most profound critics become more and more alienated from all people who are watching them with prudent understanding and wisdom. Such alienation helps no one --- and all people of good will need to work to understand and heal such tragic alienation. Labeling such people as beings who are evil, will do nobody and good. Only through gracious efforts to promote reconciliation, healing and integration --- can the amount of evil-relationships be mitigated by true lovers --- in spite of domineering people's worst mistakes. Domineering leaders and bullies do not reduce the amount of evil in the world; they augment the amount of evil --- which is to be found primarily within dysfunctional relationships.
