That is exceedingly difficult if the person's intentions and motivations are strange, perverse, mixed and secret. When the people who are involved in a situation are domineering people --- in competition over who is to be dominant and in control --- they are bound by the rules of their collusive games to try to mislead each other about their own motivations and intentions. They pretend to have respectable motives --- while trying to convince themselves and each other; that they themselves are honest, honorable, superior, and/or "in control". In such a situation --- personal and communal integrity, and health; are virtually impossible to enjoy --- no matter how powerful, and technologically-sophisticated the competitors are.
