They represent an evolution in thought and use of words. There is no one standard of writing that is present through the whole set; as is often the case in a collection of essays. In this collection of essays the word phrase "Domineering- People" has evolved to indicate those people who in conscious and sub-conscious ways, overt and tacit ways, public and private ways, explicit and implicit ways; etc: 1. Concentrate Wealth-and-Powers to their own advantage and to the disadvantage far more others. 2. Use pretense, dishonesty, deception, misleading- behaviors, secrecy, masks, arrogance, self-righteousness, institutions, corporations, religious-dogmas, rituals, formalities, and related-technocratic-means --- to achieve their purposes. 3. Repress empathy, sympathy, sensitivity, balance, mutuality, hospitality, civility, listening, justice, honesty, and other virtues that stand in the way of them achieving their unilateral purposes. 4. Encourage the playing of Games-of-Mutual-Self- Deception to facilitate all of the above in the Absence- of-Awareness of: Human-Limitations, Limited-Resources-in- God's-Finite-Space-Ship-Earth, the Consequences-of- Exponential-Growth within a Finite-Environment, Reliably- Descriptive-Natural-Laws-of-Physics, Limited-Human-Time- Frames, the Complexity-of-Life within God's-Finite-Space- Ship-Earth, etc. 5. Are: Greedy, Hoarders, Trying-to-Be-Invulnerable, Fearful-of-Risky-Intimacies, Fearful-of-Cooperation, Fearful-of-True-Lovers, Fearful-of-Authentic-People, prone to be Individualists Trying-to-Succeed-Alone. 6. Denigrate Honest-Considerations of: The-Common-Good, Communal-Integrations, Communal-Integrities, Communal- Health, Communal-Welfare, Communal-Cooperation, Communal- Ownership, Common-Grounds, etc. 7. Mask their Vices to look like Virtues with practical advantages for Domineering-People of all kinds who lack kindness. 8. Mask the above so that they often appear as Honorable-Citizens who are successful, respected, courted, elected, and trusted within Elective-Leadership-Positions of churches, corporations, universities and governments. 9. Evade Clear-Descriptions of how they respond in Un- Healthy-Ways to Alienative-Behaviors and so recycle all the Vices-which-engender-Alienation through Successful- Domination. 10. Refuse to Listen-Attentively to True-Lovers-Speaking- Truth-to-Power-and-Wealth which They-have-Concentrated. Be Graciously-Together in the Many-Ways-of-Shalom. (c) 2007 by Paul A. Smith in "Search for Honesty and Integrity" (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
