The  following thoughts pertain to trying to judge whether
True-Lovers  or  Domineering-People  are  more  worthy  of
respect, honor and support.

 1.  Domineering   people   are  always   in   Alienative-
Competition  with  each other as regards who will  be  the
most dominant.    They cannot honestly cooperate with each
other  to  fulfill the common good of all  people.    They
cannot  truly  help each other succeed in being  the  most
dominant among them.

 2.  Domineering people are also in competition with True-
Lovers  as  regards who will be the most  dominant.    But
True-Lovers  who do not accept the terms of  the  contest,
and  spoil  the game for Domineering-People  by  Speaking-
Truth-to-Power   to  expose  the   Alienative-Natures   of
Domineering-People  and to expose the  Collusive-Games-of-
Mutual-Self-Deception  which  are  played by  all  who  do
accept   the   terms   of   the   contests   between/among
Domineering-People.  To succeed as Domineering-People they
must  destroy True-Lovers who expose all of the Alienation
which is generated by the competitions among  Domineering-
People.     Domineering-People  and   True-Lovers   cannot
cooperate  with  integrity so long  as  Domineering-People
continue to try to dominate each other and True-Lovers.

 3.  True-Lovers  readily  cooperate with each  other  and
seek to find ways to help Domineering-People to recognize,
describe,   and acknowledge the high costs to them and  to
all  others of the Alienative-Competitions  which  involve
Domineering-People.

Who then most merits the most honor, respect and support?

      Be-Together in the Many-Gracious ways of Shalom.
