Such Ostensible-Virtues may in some situations be True- Virtues; and Domineering-Bullies Sell-the-Ostensible- Virtues in terms of the situations where they may reasonably be seen as True-Virtues. Domineering-Bullies are not willing to let their own slaves recognize, acknowledge or describe the Alienative- Ways in which they take advantage of their Slaves' Ostensible-Virtues to make them be More-Faithful-Slaves who are Profitable in the efforts of the Domineering- Bullies to Concentrate-Wealth-and-Power. These Ostensible-Virtues include "virtues" suggested by the following words and their associated synonyms --- within the framework of a Domineering Culture/Community: Faithful, Exclusive, Proper, Moral, True, Constant, Resolute, Steady, Consistent, Friend, Supporter, Contributor, Backer, Follower, Disciple, Staunch, Steadfast, Loyal, Consistent, Honest, Reliable, Obedient, Honorable, Respectable. The meanings of the above words --- within the framework of the works of True-Lovers --- are quite different from the meanings of the above words --- within a Domineering Culture/Community. This fact makes it difficult to try to sort out which are the Most-Dangerous Ostensible-Virtues and which are the Most-True-Virtues. Domineering-Bullies do their best to Confuse-the- Differences between their Ostensible-Virtues and the True- Virtues of True-Lovers. The meanings of words are always contextually determined by both True-Lovers and by Domineering-Bullies; and what meanings they chose to take most seriously are often quite different, depending upon the Real-Motives of Domineering- Bullies and of True-Lovers. All of the above Facts-of-Life makes it very important for us to seek to Discern-with-Integrity what are the differences between the Real Motives-and-Intentions of True-Lovers as compared to Domineering-Bullies! Those differences are not always clear within the contexts of Domineering-Cultures-and-Communities! Be-Together in the Many-Gracious Ways of Shalom. (c) 2008 by Paul A.
