The integrity of a community and of its members depends upon the creative efforts of its most creative members. When the creative abilities of the most creative members of a community --- are dedicated to rebellion against addictive efforts of leaders to control and/or inhibit creativity --- the consequences are tragic. It will do no good to blame only the creative people who rebelled against addictive efforts which were guided by preoccupations with issues of control. It WILL DO GOOD to graciously describe the dynamic interactions between leaders' preoccupations with issues of control --- and creative people's efforts to prevent such preoccupations from inhibiting and/or repressing healthy creativity which transcends unhealthy preoccupations with issues of control. It is unhealthy to be preoccupied with issues of control in ways which focus upon: rules, regulations, laws, demands, commandments, disciplines, punishments, judgments, condemnations, excommunications, and executions. It is possible to develop teachings which describe how and why alienative behaviors lead to personal and communal disintegration. To be helpful such teachings need to be gracious, gentle, loving, open, honest, and accurate --- and not be motivated by human desires to prove who is better than others who are led to be, or be perceived to be, losers.
