We cannot honestly and clearly sort out the differences between resisting honestly against domination --- and rebelling dishonestly against our own limits and limitations as mortals --- who are born, live imperfect lives, and die --- after living for a time which is short in terms of human history, and tiny in comparison to the age of the cosmos as a whole. 2. Through our dishonest rebellion we become like the domineering people against whom we rebel; and lead others to do as we have done --- become dishonest rebels who are domineering; in frustration. 3. We blind ourselves against seeing the mistakes we make; and so we fail to learn from the mistakes we make. 4. We are tempted to blame others for our dysfunctional patterns of behaviors; and so do not outgrow them and do not avoid the great costs of continuing to demonstrate dysfunctional patterns of tragic behaviors.
