Summary/Abstract: The relationship between dominance, i.e. aggressiveness and suffering derived from it, as well as readiness to suffer are only seemingly two opposite ends of an authoritarian character. A model of traditional father as emphasised by many authors, underlies this phenomenon. A traditional father is concurently a despotic tyrant in his own family (following the example of the Roman institution of the “pater familias” role which dates back to more than 2000 years ago) and servant to a broader community, i.e. the state.
