"then you have to confront the individual in some form or fashion to either stop the breaches or make yourself whole." I agree whole heartedly. However, I bet this doesn't make us any more alike. My way of confrontation would be to label the breacher according to the breach. I bet, for example, that over the last couple of years when I would call bill clinton a liar it makes you cringe and that you see it as unnecessary and denigrating. Just a guess. "I think that if one is being abused, one need not be too concerned about maintaining the dignity of the abuser. And I don't think you have any business admiring someone who would abuse you or who would abuse me. Abusive behavior is wrong. Moral people don't admire it." See. I consider bill c. to have been one of the most abusive yet admired persons of our time. And I bet you were thinking of bin laudin or somebody. I don't admire bin laudin but I bet I could find somebody that I consider moral and you think of as abusive.
