Control how others will respond to domineering- people's attempts to dominate, control, and manage-their- fears. 2. Control other people's emotions, thoughts, desires, and communications. 3. Control how other people-relate-to-each-other and to domineering-people; i.e., control-human-relationships. 4. Control both good-relationships and evil- relationships. 5. Control human-responses to evil-relationships. Domineering-people pretend that there are no limits to who and what they can dominante and/or control and who they can force to bear the costs of their efforts to dominant and/or be-in-control. Domineering-people pretend that there are no natural- limits to what techniques, technologies, and weapons can be used successfully in achieving-dominance-and-control over: people, fears, emotions, thoughts, desires, communications, relationships, responses, intimacies, love, alienation, excommunications, good, and evil. Domineering-people are playing-games-of-mutual-self- deception --- pretending that they DO-GOOD by being dominant and/or IN-CONTROL. Victims-of-such-efforts cannot eliminate-such-efforts by joining-in-such-efforts --- pretending that victims- of-such-efforts can DO-GOOD by becoming themselves dominant and/or IN-CONTROL of-such-efforts. Such efforts by victims of the MYTH-OF-REDEMPTIVE-VIOLENCE are what keep the MYTH-OF-REDEMPTIVE-VIOLENCE alive --- even while it is killing most of its victims. Consider and discuss the book "The Powers That Be" by Walter Wink --- which speaks of these tragic realities in clear and hopeful ways. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
