     Domineering  people do  NOT  truly have  the power to
determine the natures of virtues and vices --- even though
they may pretend that they do have,  or should have,  such
powers.

     Domineering  people  do NOT truly have the  power  to
determine   what   Conformal-Behaviors  fulfill   diverse:
virtues, ideals, values, principles, etc. ---  even though
they  may  pretend that they have,  or should have,   such
powers.

     It  is NOT Virtuous to Conform-to-Prescribed-Patterns
of:  desires,  hopes, aspirations, expectations,  demands,
commands,  prescriptions, proscriptions, taboos, etc.  ---
especially when  the  Prescribed-Patterns  are  associated
with Pervasive-Patterns  of:   alienation,   estrangement,
excommunication,  prejudice, bias and ignorance ---  which
many people CANNOT avoid.

     The typical behaviors of Domineering-People and their
associated  Mutually-Exclusive-Competitors   ---   promote
confusion about the fulfillment  of:    virtues,   ideals,
principles, integrations, hospitality, honesty,  civility,
and their supportive complementary realities.

     It  is especially tragic when Domineering-People  are
chosen  to  serve  as leaders of large  groups  of  people
within: extended-families, tribes, neighborhoods,  cities,
provinces,  states, nations, and corporations;  especially
when  such groups of people transcend state  and  national
bounds.  The more self-righteous, arrogant,   wealthy  and
powerful  that  such people are when they are chosen,  the
more   tragic  are  the   outcomes  of  their   leadership
patterns.

     Domineering-People are prone to insist on using:

     1.  Indirect  communications  when   it  is  to their
advantage.

     2.  Direct   communications  when  it  is  to   their
advantage.

     3.  Literal  interpretations  of texts when it is  to
their advantage.

     4.  Allegorical  interpretations of texts when it  is
to their advantage.

                      "Search for Honesty and Integrity"
                    (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy)
