Permission not granted is permission denied in such a society. Addicts are in control and codependents are obedient; or so it may seem. Power to control is power which corrupts those who seem to be in control; and corrupts those who appear to yield to control. Corruption includes the sacrifice of honesty upon the alter of preoccupation with control and so includes the sacrifice of imagination, creativity, growth and health. Where there seems to be the power to control that which cannot be controlled, there is neither personal nor communal integrity. What seems to be true is rarely true. What seems not to be true is often true. There is much confusion and much forgetting of lessons which might have been learned from mistakes which are too soon forgotten or repressed. Hidden conflicts which are not resolved fester endlessly as people try to be in control of what they cannot see, and about which they cannot be honest. Who is to give them permission to be honest? Who is not imprisoned within their collusions? (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
