Addicts do not ask for what they really need, because they feel that it is o.k. to just take; and so they do not receive gifts of any real meaning, and find that what they take is without real meaning. Many people do not seek for what they really need, because they are pretentious and presumptuous and think/feel that they have/know all that they need. In their ignorance they do not know about their ignorance, and think that other people are responsible for their troubles. Many people do not knock, because to do so is to acknowledge their dependency upon others who may say no, and not be willing to admit them in an accepting way. They prefer not to take the risk of being rejected, and so they stand outside the circle of human fellowship. Codependents need to learn to explicitly ask for what they really and honestly need: recognition, acceptance, affection, love, encouragement, etc. Addicts need to be honest with themselves and others about themselves, about their behaviors and about their real needs; and ask for forgiveness and support in being honest, so that they can learn from past mistakes. We all need to regard life as a process in which meaning is found together in the journey, rather than at some magical destination. The more we know, the more we become aware of even more that we do not know, and thus the more we might seek to know. We all need to be respected by others, and so we all need to respect others as we would be respected, and knock to ask for entry into others' lives---even though at times we may be denied entry. Breaking in does not bring meaningful satisfaction. Standing outside alone does not bring meaningful satisfaction. Love points honestly to better ways. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
