It is absurd to try to be responsive on the behalf of others, to assume the duty to speak for them. To assume the responsibility of speaking on the behalf of others is paternalistic and dishonest. Responsible people are open and honest about themselves. They do not try to manipulate and be in control of the behavior and communications of other people. When a community asks its members to try to control each other it undermines healthy responsibility. People can not succeed in trying to control each other. When threat of punishment is made for failure to control others, the inevitable consequence is dishonesty, secrecy, misleading signals, and disintegration; then people cannot be themselves with integrity. Then people feel it is not safe to be responsive regarding what they have done and have not done; it is not safe to be responsible in the sense of being responsive. When a community demands that its members try to control each other, it assumes that mutual manipulation of people is desirable. The stage is set for trying to coerce those healthy people who fail to be manipulative; they are threatened with coercions for failing to conform to manipulative life styles. Manipulative people cannot safely be involved in intimate relationships which are responsible in the sense of being responsive; they cannot be secure in the freedom to be vulnerable. Manipulative communities lack unity and are not healthy; they are not real communities; they are superficial collections of people who do not know what real responsibility is, and cannot be responsive to each other.
