Their fears lead them in defensive ways, rather than in the ways of love. Domineering people strive to lead others to be vulnerable in ways which make it easier for the domineering people to manipulate and control people and situations --- to their own greedy advantage. People who have unilaterally been made vulnerable find it difficult to be open and honest about themselves, their experiences and/or their insights; they cannot readily/safely contribute to the expansion of personal and communal integrities. People cannot learn much from their and other people's experiences within such contexts; so mistakes and tragedies abound. Personal and communal integrities perish because of the tragic efforts of domineering people to be in control --- when being in control is not helpful and so undermines integrities which are present.
