Domineering-People-Regularly try to force others into making Only-Either-Or-Choices, Only-Yes-Or-No-Choices --- always between effectively Just-Two-Options --- For-Them OR Against-Them. Be clear about how to recognize which kinds of people are appealing for your Support-and-Presence With-Them! Beware of people who are stuck in Dichotomous-and-Polarizing ways of thinking, approaching others and acting as Domineering- People. If you choose to spend your time with True-Lovers --- your life will become Complicated-and-Challenging in --- Creative-Ways which Transcend-Original-Visions of possible outcomes and expectations. Predicting the future will not be easy! If you choose to spend your time with Domineering-People --- you life will Appear-To-Be-Simple, focused, meaningful and significant --- but in ways which are SURE-TO-BE: Destructive, Violent, Coercive and generating unimaginable amounts of: Alienation, Estrangement, Misunderstandings, Confusion, Chaos, and Tragic-Outcomes --- which Do-Not- Fulfill Original-Promises-or-Expectations. People who give us only EITHER/OR-CHOICES; "You-are- Either-With-US" or "Against-US" --- are clearly NOT: 1. Committed to Authentic Conflict-Resolution. 2. Committed to Affirming any Clusters-of-True-Virtues. 3. Committed to any True Integrations-or-Integrities. 4. True-Lovers Seeking-to-be-Together in Shalom's-Ways. 5. Committed to being in Open-and-Honest-Dialogues. 6. Peace-Makers seeking to end Destructive-Wars. 7. Honestly-Seeking Transcendent-Truths-in-Love. 8. Seeking to Transcend-Domination-Systems'-Destructions 9. Demonstrating any Transcendent-Form-of-Integrity. 10. Trying to increase the chance of US Trusting-Them. True-Lovers are likely to seek to Promote-and-Facilitate Open-and-Honest-Dialogue-With-US by: 1. Making Clear-Affirmations Without-Any-Negations. 2. Making Clear-Commitments to Clusters-of-Virtues. 3. Showing that they are willing to take Prudent-Risks. 4. Trying to understand US and our Honest-Perspectives. 5. Trying to share their Honest-Perspectives with US. 6. Trying to help us understand Their-Perspectives. 7. Helping US to understand what they most fear about US 8. Helping US to understand what they most like about US 9. Helping US to understand their cultures & histories. 10. Showing that they are willing to Share-Risks with US. Be-Together in the Many-Gracious ways of Shalom. (c) 2007 by Paul A.
