     What   motivates,    guides,   directs,   and   leads
Domineering-People  in their many efforts?    Not  all  of
them  are  personally  greedy.   Some of  them  have  been
leaders    of   Nation-States,     Religious-Institutions,
International-Corporations,      Educational-Institutions,
etc.    Some  of them have served their  Chosen-Causes  at
great self-and-family sacrifices;  not-greedy in any usual
sense.

     The  following seem to be some common-factors  and/or
features in the lives of Domineering-People:

    1.  Serving some  Self-Interests or the  Interests  of
some Select-Special-Superior:  Group, Doctrine,  Teaching,
Cause,  Vision, Purpose,  Spirit, Angel, or Conception-of-
God with which Self-is-Intimately-Associated.

    2.  Behaviors which are Stern,  Unilateral,  Arrogant,
Pretentious, Coercive, Violent, Overwhelming, etc.

    3.  A  willingness to sacrifice:  Honesty,   Humility,
Authenticity,  Kindness, Patience, Civility,  Hospitality,
Tolerance,   Generosity,  Justice,   Balance,   Mutuality,
Cooperation,   Collaboration,  and related virtues ---  to
better serve their favored cause(s) and/or interest(s).

    4.  An indifference toward:

        Personal-and-Communal Integrities-And-Integrations
        within the  Widest-Relevant-Contexts  that  are in
        practice inter-related  and/or  inter-dependent in
        either positive-or-negative ways.

    5.  Ignorance-About,
         Bias-Against,  and/or
         Prejudice-Related-To:

        Personal-and-Communal Integrities-And-Integrations
        within the  Widest-Relevant-Contexts  that  are in
        practice inter-related  and/or  inter-dependent in
        either positive-or-negative ways.

    6.  A  willingness to violate the trust-of-many-people
who Entrusted-Them with responsibilities, wealth and power
believing  that they would respond to that trust  in  ways
which  would  Facilitate-And-Encourage both  Personal-And-
Communal Integrations-And-Integrities.

    7.  Exclusion-From-Consideration  often  serves  as  a
focus  of  Domineering-People.   The  following  kinds  of
Complementary-Realities  are  the  Foci-of-Exclusion-From-
Consideration:

    a.  Victims of Holy-Crusades.
    b.  Victims of Holy-Wars-of-Purification.
    c.  Victims of Holy-Wars-of-Manifest-Destiny.
    d.  Victims of Holy-Inquisitions-of-Purification.
    e.  Victims-of-Holy-Campaigns-of-Economic-Hit-Men.
    f.  Idolatrous-Campaigns-of-Religious-Orthodoxy.
    g.  Cultural-Wars-of-Cultural-Genocide.
    h.  Addictions focused upon Drugs, Oil, Coal, U-235.
    i.  True-Lovers-Focused upon Communal-Integrities.
    j.  True-Lovers-Focused upon Integrities-of-the-Poor.
    k.  People who are Thirsty, Hungry, Homeless, Poor.
    l.  Visionaries focused upon Shalom rather than War.

     People   who   are   focused   upon   Exclusion-From-
Consideration are dominant supporters of:  The-Domination-
System   as   God,    The   Fallen-Powers-That-Be-As-Gods,
Isolated-Ideological-Idols,    Isolated-Values-and-Ideals,
Isolated-Dictators,  Fearful-Isolated-Wealthy-Capitalists,
Excommunications-of-Creative-People,  Excommunications-of-
Complementary-People,    Isolated-Ideal-Forms   and   many
"Other-Possibilities".

     8.  Simplifications  go  along with  Exclusions-From-
Consideration.   Domination is easier when there are  very
few:   Classes-of-People,  Casts,  Ways-of-Distinguishing,
Ideals,   Values,  Sides,  Virtues,  etc.   It is hard for
Domineering-People-to-Admit-Their-Mistakes     ---      so
Complementary-Possible-Foci   are  hard   to   Admit-Into-
Consideration in the  face  of  having  made an Exclusive-
Commitment-To-One-Supreme-and-Ultimate-Concern,  Value  or
God.  Domineering people tend  to  operate in Dichotomous-
Polarized-Worlds among:  Opposing People,  Goals,  Values,
Ideals, Ideologies, etc. ---  with Just-Two-Sides to every
Contentious-Conflict.    Integrations and Integrities  are
the  Last-Things that they are likely to consider as being
important.
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
