The basic cause of all sin—not some sin, all sin—is domination. Domination is an obsessive need to control. Corrupt persons are control freaks.

All concepts of morality and rights are derived from the need to avoid the consequences of being controlled. This statement might look like hyperbolae, but the reason why it is not is because all sin flows from the need to control; and therefore only by getting to the underlying need to control can the sin be accounted for.

Persons who have always been perpetrators and never victims cannot understand morality. Only victims can understand what is wrong about sin or being controlled. It is noticeable that perpetrators despise the intellectual activity of victimology. "We're sick and tired of hearing about victims, victims, victims; we're victims to" perpetrators will say.

Perpetrators assume that they are in a better position to make decisions than the victims, because power is a position of superiority, which subconsciously includes greater intelligence, knowledge and worthiness. What they cannot grasp is that there is an element of knowledge or reality control which has to do with abstractions related to significance. It works like this: If a person is in a barrel with a rattlesnake, he says, "There's a rattlesnake in here; I need to get out of here." The perpetrator says, "What's the difference; there's enough space in there for both of you." Perpetrators and victims perceive the same realities but give them a different significance. Perpetrators miss motives and are oblivious to conseqences.

This is the problem in controlling people. The perpetrators don't see the significance of problems which are not happening to themselves. Perpetrators put their concerns above the concerns of the victims who they are controlling and ultimately destroying.

The opposite is subservience. Christ taught subservience (Luke 22:24-30). With subservience, people make their own decisions instead of someone making decisions for someone else.
