 %CODEPENDENT TECHNOCRAT ADDICT OWN PROBLEM DILEMMA 910112

     The   codependent   does  not know how to  draw   the
boundary  between caring about other people,  sympathizing
with  other people as they deal with their problems,   and
in an expert way   solving  other  people's  problems  for
them.      The  differences   are   not   clear   to   the
codependent.      The  codependent  seeks  to solve  other
people's   problems  for them,    when  the  other  people
need to  solve  their  own problems  and resolve their own
dilemmas.    The  codependent tends to become involved  in
problems  which  they do not own and cannot  properly  own
with integrity.

     Technicians are trained to solve technical  problems,
but   they   are   not   taught  how  to   recognize   the
differences    between   caring   about   other    people,
sympathizing  with  other people as they deal  with  their
dilemmas and problems,  and in an expert way solving other
people's  problems for them.  The  technicians  get  their
good feelings out  of  solving other people's problems for
them,   and  so  they tend to fall into  the  patterns  of
feeling,      thought    and    behavior     which     are
characteristically   codependent.     Because   they   are
trained  experts doing what they have been trained to  do,
they  tend  to be respected when they are trying to  solve
other people's problems in technical ways; even when their
behavior is characteristically codependent in nature.

     Technocrats  are  codependent   technicians  who  are
celebrating  their   technical   skills    (of    whatever
degree     of  sophistication)     in  efforts  to  be  of
service   to  other people by solving their  problems  for
them.   Situations are analyzed in ways which portray them
as  requiring that  the particular  technical   skills  of
the  technocratic  advisor who seeks to be of  codependent
service. Some people become addicted  to  such codependent
technical   services,     and regard  themselves as  being
sophisticated  because  they  are  dependent    upon   the
advanced    technical     services     of    sophisticated
codependent technocrats.

     The   liberal  education of future  technicians  will
include helping  them  to  understand  the   relationships
between   codependent  technocrats  and  people  who   are
addicted  to  the services  of  codependent   technocrats.
In    contrast   the  imprisoning   education  of   future
technocrats will  not  be inclusive in that way,  and will
be  more highly specialized with  its focus more  narrowly
limited to purely  technical skills and considerations.

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
