Under the masks of respectability they seek to manipulate other people to make them conform to the idealists' expectations. For the sake of the integrity of the community it is essential that such idealistic manipulative techniques be confronted and unmasked. In open and honest ways powerful addicts need to be asked to articulate what their highest ideals are. They need to be asked to indicate what their intentions and goals are. If they wish to appear to be respectable and powerful leaders, they should be willing to present themselves in ways which merit respect by indicating how they intend to promote communal integrity. If they are unwilling to openly and honestly indicate their highest ideals and values; then they have been confronted and unmasked. If addicts' present ideals and values which cannot be served fully without sacrificing personal and communal integrity, then the addicts should be asked to indicate why they are willing to sacrifice personal and communal integrity in the service of their ideals and values. Does their reasoning have integrity? Does it make sense in any reasonable way? Can they elicit open and honest respect for their reasons for sacrificing personal and communal integrity in the service of their ideals and values? It is not only selfish people who serve disintegrative ideals and values. Often people who are willing to make great personal sacrifice also serve disintegrative ideals and values. Such sacrificial people are often willing to sacrifice their own integrity in the service of their disintegrative values; but such sacrificial giving does not promote communal integrity or the personal integrity of the members of the community. The futility of such sacrifices needs to be unmasked. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
