In communities and culture which are the victims of many Domineering-Bullies it is not prudent for True-Lovers to be open and honest about the nature of their intimate relationships; for open and honest discussions of the natures of their intimate relationships would present great threats to the Pretentious-Integrity of Domineering- Bullies. It is not a simple thing for True-Lovers to show leadership in helping a community make a safe transition away from being dominated by Domineering-Bullies. Going to fast will create chaos. Going to slow will lead to falling deeper into being dominated by Domineering- Bullies. It is one thing to lay firm theoretical foundations for such a safe transition --- by clarifying the inter- relationships among risky-virtues, safe-virtues, complementary-virtues, clusters-of-mutually-complementary- virtues, vices and vices-seen-as-virtues. It is a very difficult thing to build risky intimate relationships upon such a firm theoretical foundation; for such risky intimate relationships will be vulnerable to the destructive efforts of Domineering-Bullies who must inhibit True-Lovers-Intimacies; in order to advance their programs of Concentrating-Powers-and-Wealth Without-Limit. Of course Domineering-Bullies will be corrupted to the extent that they are successful in Concentration-Wealth- and-Powers Without-Limit. Power-Corrupts. Unlimited- Power-Corrupts Without-Limits. There is no such thing as Good-Unlimited-Power --- for it cannot survive corruption for any significant duration. Good people who are working on concentrating Wealth-and-Power are not Good for very long; and are usually unaware of that fact. Be-Together in the Many-Gracious Ways of Shalom. (c) 2008 by Paul A.
