%FABRIC CONCEPTS COMMUNITY LIFE LEADER ADDICT EDUCE 901122

The fabric and quality of community life depends upon  the
fabric  of concepts,  and the fabric of the leaders  which
embody  the  fabric  of concepts  which  characterize  the
community.

The fabric of the leaders of a community may take on  many
different  structures  depending upon the extent to  which
the leaders are:  addictive,  codependent,  educational in
the  sense  of  educing,  seducational  in  the  sense  of
seductive,    manipulative  in  coercive   ways,    and/or
democratic vs dictatorial.

Any fabric depends upon how the elements of the fabric are
woven together; i.e., how the elements touch and relate to
each other.  This is true of threads in a physical  fabric
made  of threads.  It is also true of a fabric  of  inter-
relating   concepts  and/or  a  fabric  of  inter-relating
leaders who embody a fabric of inter-relating concepts.

The  effect of any fabric of concepts/leaders depends upon
the meta-fabric of the system of values which they embody;
and  which  leads  them  to  be  addictive,   educational,
seducational,  coercive,  manipulative democratic,  and/or
dictatorial.

Manipulative   leaders   tend  to  be   preoccupied   with
techniques,   technologies and manipulative  understanding
and  education.   Their educational systems  are  as  much
seductive as they are evocative and educative.

When  a  community is tragically lead by a  disintegrative
fabric  of  concepts,  beliefs,  perceptions  desires  and
leaders;   it  does no good for its members to try  harder
when  things  go wrong.  Tragedies are the consequence  of
fabrics of disintegrative concepts; not the consequence of
inadequate: convictions, commitments, efforts, discipline,
technologies, techniques, resources, or desires.
