The contrasting signs have to do with contrasting styles of risk management; i.e., COOPERATIVE or UNILATERAL. True Lovers look for signs that others whom they want to trust, rely on, and be with as peace makers --- are committed to COOPERATIVE styles of RISK MANAGEMENT; rather than to unilateral/isolated styles of risk- management. Domineering People look for signs that others, whom they want to trust, rely on, and command as members of a winning army --- are deeply committed to UNILATERAL actions - as members of a loyal/conformist team working under a centralized authority/command center --- to unilaterally control all forms of risk so as to achieve security through invulnerability as the key to RISK- MANAGEMENT. Domineering People look upon True Lovers as offering many signs that they, the True Lovers, are totally unreliable, not trustworthy, and are traitors to the goals, aspirations, and value system of the Domineering- People. Only fools risk their lives trusting people who are willing to cooperate with "strangers" who are "different", "aliens" and willing to take uncontrolled and foolish risks --- to develop un tested, new and different kinds of cooperative relationships --- which are viewed as essential to honest peacemaking. We cannot, and must not, trust "strangers", and "aliens" who are "different"! True Lovers recognize that the logic and behavior patterns of Domineering People lead them and others into patterns of relationships which are dominated by: 1. Alienation, estrangements, excommunications; 2. Prejudice, ignorance, confusion; 3. Judgments, condemnations, punishments, 4. Coercion, violence, revenge; 5. Contentiousness, tensions, contentions; 6. Misunderstandings, misinterpretations; 7. Addictions, collusions, failures, lies, 8. Destruction and disintegration. True Lovers look for signs from each other --- of a willingness and commitment to let go of the tragic thought and behavior patterns of Domineering People --- because those patterns so systematically lead to alienation, destruction and disintegration. The Domineering People's patterns of thought and behavior do not lead to the sweet fruits which are envisioned, hoped- for and "promised" by Domineering People to themselves and to each other servant of "The Domination System" of "The Powers That Be" --- in trying to be totally in control. Dominators refuse to let go of attempting to be totally in control of: things, people, thoughts, attitudes, feelings, desires, hopes, aspirations, and communications in all relationships. True lovers know that COOPERATIVE RISK MANAGEMENT is far more successful than is UNILATERAL RISK MANAGEMENT. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
