We need to ask: What behaviors are NOT honorable ONLY BECAUSE of Domineering-Bullies' past and present influence --- yet could be honorable in the future --- in the absence of Domineering-Bullies' presence? Now many integrative behaviors of Authentic-True-Lovers are not honorable in the eyes of Domineering-Bullies --- because such behaviors threaten Bullies' Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception --- which are essential to the Privileged life-styles of Domineering-Bullies. The above suggests that we need to move through TRANSITION years when Domineering-Bullies will gradually cease to be influential due to past and current behaviors. Future Personal-and-Communal integrities will not come into being instantly --- but can come into being through gradual TRANSITIONS. We need to give careful and extended thought to how to help such TRANSITIONS to move through their essential stages. It is dangerous to hope, expect or think in terms of INSTANTANEOUS-SHIFTS from living in communities that are strongly influenced by past and present Alienative-Behaviors of Domineering-Bullies; including the honoring of Domineering-Bullies for their "Faithful- Service" in VIOLENT: contests, battles, wars, terrors, etc. The same goes for occasions of Domineering-Bullies serving faithfully in PROFITABLE: colonizations, slave- trade, working-slaves, segregations, concentrating-of- wealth, sexual-abuse, sex-trade, and military-industrial- complexes. Be-Together in the Many-Gracious Ways of Shalom. (c) 2008 by Paul A.
