Some people try to find pleasure, happiness and fulfillment in impulsive and compulsive giving; in generosity which is devoid of prudence. Such people take care of addicts who in covert ways demand more than can be honestly given in helpful/healthy assistance. Many addicts want to be taken care of as a parasite. They do not want to be participants in healthy and honest human relationships. They do not what to share, they want to get and to take. They do not want to know the truth; they want to see reality through rose colored glasses. They want others to make their world o.k. for them in spite of their compulsive dishonesty and dysfunctional behavior. They do not want to know the truth about their mistakes, and want others to protect them from the truth about their mistakes. Thus they need compulsively generous givers to compensate for their dishonesty by joining in their dishonest games of mutual self deception. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
