Their priorities lead to personal and communal disintegration. Controllers cannot control people's assumptions, attitudes, feelings, emotions, thoughts, desires and hopes. Thus they focus upon what can be controlled; people's appearances, speech, language, role-playing, acting, games, competition and other superficial aspects of being. Thus they encourage dishonesty, deception, pretentions, arrogance, and other forms of misleading behaviors. Controllers promote personal and communal disintegration. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
