Genetic, Cultural, Language, and Experiential Differences-Between-Individuals are Irrelevant when determining what is: right, proper, appropriate, standard and good as regards human: thoughts, attitudes, desires, hopes, fears, relationships, etc. 2. There are Absolute-Ideal-Forms that exist within the realms of reason, abstractions and spirits --- which have Absolute-Power to Govern-and-Dominate Human-Lives because of God's-Commands. 3. It is Domineering-People to whom God has given Good-Power To-Dominate the people who are: poor, thirsty, hungry, home-less, power-less, confused, depressed, suppressed, repressed, etc. --- to the advantage of the people who are: rich, powerful, healthy, wealthy, wise, and successful --- because they are God's Superior Ones. 4. That the above is consistent with, coherent with and Authoritatively-Approved in Holy-Scriptures; despite all the written evidence to the contrary within Holy- Scriptures which are abused-every-day by Domineering- People within Religious-Institutions. In the absence of True-Lovers who deal honestly with the vast number of humane-differences between/among all different kinds of people and cultures --- it is difficult to transcend or undermine the abuses of power and wealth by Domineering-People. Imitating-and-Copying the Domineering-Ways of Domineering-People does nothing to mitigate the Tragic- Consequences of acts of Violent-Domination. Violence has to do with showing disrespect for Different-Forms of Humane-Integrations and Humane- Integrities that Speak-Truth-to-Powers that are Dishonest, Pretentious, Arrogant, Arbitrary, Unilateral De- Personalized and Technocratic. The only way to Transcend-and-Mitigate the Tragic- Consequences of actions of Violent-Domination is Truly-In The-Way-of-Shalom which is Non-Violent, Non-Dominant, Non- Coercive, Non-Alienative in the Coherent-Ways of both Personal-and-Communal Integrations-and-Integrities which Gracdiously-Include All-Different-Kinds-Of-People as-they- are with their Spectrums of Differences-and-Imperfections. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - In the Gracious-Lives of True-Lovers no set of Ideal- Forms plays any Dominant-Role in the Ways of Alienative Violence-and-Coercion which lead to Personal-and-Communal Disintegration-and-Death. In the Domineering-Lives of Domineering-People the following rules apply: 1. All people are alike; differences make no difference in terms of obeying the Good-Rules which Domineering-People Interpret-With-Authority. 2. HOWEVER, Domineering-People-Are-SUPERIOR; Above- Rules, Trasncending-Rules-of-All-Kinds. No-Rules apply to them in any way which might limit their powerful uses of: Violence, Coercion, Dishonesty, Collusions, Coalitions, Arrogance, Hubris, Greed, Wealth-Concentration, Power- Concentration, and their Ability-To-Avoid-Corruption. 3. The Alienation-of-Poor-People Makes-No-Difference in evaluating the Superiority-of-Domineering-People; because Poor-People Do-Not-Count. They are different. This is how it has been for many generations. Why? Is it impossible to loosen the grip of the "logic" and "reasoning" of Domineering-People who Lack-Integrity and Lack-Coherence? If so, why?
