Such revelations are often disconcerting, threatening, and engender fear in us. Authentic people who are true lovers in being true to themselves and each other, often threaten our dishonest ways and dishonest forms of pretentious security. Insecure and fear-full people often seek to avoid becoming involved in open and honest relationships with people who are demonstrating personal and communal forms of integrity --- because insecure and fear-full people are often playing collusive games of mutual self deception with themselves and with each other as: domineering people, supporters of "The Domination System" and as supporters of the dishonest "Powers That Be". Many critics who denigrate true-lovers for being law- less and non-conformists --- are fearful-people who have been threatened by the high-levels-of-integrity of true- lovers and their intimate-relationships with each other. True-lovers make dishonesty become evident! (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
