Domineering people look for points of vulnerability --- so that they can dominate vulnerable people. True-Lovers look for points of vulnerability --- so that they can help vulnerable people be free to be safely vulnerable within sanctuaries which they build cooperatively with honor for all to enjoy. Domineering people cannot successfully dominate True-Lovers who are free, and feel free, to be safely vulnerable within sanctuaries which they build openly-and- honestly-together, with balanced-and-mutual-honor, within Love, within truly open-and-honest-intimate-relationships. For the above reasons --- domineering people who support "The Domination System" without reservations as idolaters --- insist that others overtly, publicly and enthusiastically support "The Domination System" without reservations. The more that domineering people "succeed" the more that we need to respond to domineering people: graciously, openly, clearly, coherently, publicly, unashamedly, and with personal and communal integrity. "True-Lovers" succeed in revealing to domineering people the many wonderful possibilities for TRUE: security, meaning, community, cooperation, collaboration, civility, hospitality, togetherness, sharing and SHALOM --- within the reconciling and integrative realms of Love --- which knows/acknowledges no DOMINEERING: bounds, boundaries, laws, commandments, prescriptions, proscriptions, demands, controls, coercion, violence, or other manipulative tools of "The Domination System" with all of its "Fallen-Powers-That-Be" --- within addictions, codependencies, conspiracies, destructive-coalitions, corrupted-concentrations-of-power, and collusive-games-of-mutual-self-deception. For the above reasons "The Domination System" works covertly, tacitly, implicitly, silently, and in other unarticulated ways to encourage/require that all communications be --- covert, tacit, implicit, silent, secret, hidden, private, un-written, un-exposed to public attention, etc. --- and punishes Anti-Domination-System" communications which are overt, out-in-the-open, explicit, loud, public, revealed, published, written, exposed to public-discussion, etc. By being cooperatively-together as who they are in- public --- True-Lovers threaten "The Domination System". In response "The Domination System" motivates, guides and leads domineering-people to ridicule, denigrate, embarrass and otherwise try to disintegrate True-Lovers through gossip, false-witness, accusations, trials, repressions, suppressions and crucifixions. - - - - - - - - - - Domination cannot be mitigated through MORE domination.
