The "One" may literally be one, or symbolically-one. The "One" may be one-person, one-family, one-gang, one-group, one-city, one-state, one-nation, one-caste, one-class, one-profession, one-color, one-language, one- culture, one-nationality, one-sex, one-gender, one-sexual- orientation, one-rationality, one-reason, one-value, one- principle, one-truth, one-affection, one-spirit, one- spirituality, one-business, etc. Whatever the one is internally, IT is perceived to be superior to "the- others"; in alienation of course. Since many domineering people cannot easily- dominate-together in ways which are cooperative; they often try to dominate each other and eliminate each other until only the Most-Dominant-One is the only self- alienated One that remains. This is true of many people, and of many aspects of any one person. In the case of one person the dominant "One" aspect of a person may be: sexuality, reason, spirituality, greed, perfectionism, judgmentalism, indifference, narcissism, etc. In the case of many persons the Most-Dominant-Ones are likely to encourage other ones to accentuate that ONE aspect of themselves which can most readily be accentuated and dominated by the Most-Dominant-Ones; FOR EXAMPLE, ONLY: sexuality, reason, greed, perfectionism OR judgmentalism. Thus, personal integrity is not only NOT PROMOTED; PERSONAL INTEGRITY is intentionally undermined in order to facilitate domination OF the "Most Vulnerable Ones" BY the "Most Dominant Ones". Of course immature true-lovers are the "Most Vulnerable Ones" because they are caught by the "Most-Dominant-Ones" in the process of privately exchanging free gifts of the freedom to be safely vulnerable with each other within communal sanctuaries. The consequent dominant judgements are sure, swift and not troubled by intimate understandings of the nature of the most meaningful personal relationships discovered. Discernment of the meanings of those healthy relationships would undermine the collusive games of mutual self deception being played faithfully by the most competitive "Most Dominant Ones".
