Darlings and diabolical mischief and spoiled children. These things seem related...somehow. 😉
Also the narcissism. That term gets thrown around a lot these days, but I do believe TRUE narcissism as a personality disorder is becoming more common.
Maybe it's like the nasty, toxic juice that leaks out of a bag of garbage in your trunk while you're taking it to the dump. It doesn't necessarily turn everything it touches into definite garbage, but it does fuck them up to the point where remediation (cleaning) is required. How do we clean the fucked up minds of all the people who've been tainted by the (seemingly) free flow of "Narcissist Juice" these last few decades?
FH--Yes. This is where We the people are now. How did we allow the toxic anti-humans to run the world? We've all heard the saying: 'you get what you ask for'--right? I don't believe we asked for any of the unsanity-lockdowns-mandates-fakery. But we have allowed it to fester. Now we are at the watershed--how we engage in civil disobediance will define our future. Being Fear-less is critical.
Very good analogy, Free! I think you’re right about narcissists (probably the ones at the very top of the elite dung pile) seriously messing people up (their “upper mgmt” and sycophant lackeys). Not sure they’re redeemable. Not sure they aren’t. But the tippy top? They’re disgusting and deserve a tortuous public execution.
Haha Brilliant, Riki! Trickle down narcissism...maybe we should research this...
I’m all seriousness, I’ve always learned that true narcissism isn’t “catching.” I suppose one can learn and develop a moral (amoral?) behavior model of severe selfishness, greed, etc., from one of those true narcissists, but not sure about developing it as a full grown adult. It’s an interesting idea.
SG--As we must all strive to Be--Levity is essential if we are to get through this phase of development. In all seriousness, one of the "missings"in our society's daily dialog has to do with a mature consideration of what defines "mental health." Aside from the obvious labels for people who are dealing with various forms of depression, or schizophrenia, or Bipolar disorder(and I am still a student of the human mind, not necessarily aligned with the Academic dogma that lives for labels), we are remiss in our collective responsibility as long as we ignore what is most obvious,'i.e.' the 500 Lb Gorilla: Just because a person is a billionaire, or has risen to a position of power doesn't translate as leadership quailities, or ethical and empathic behavior aligned with society's greatest good. Au contrare--as we've witnessed--the Media is a profit-control mechanism, and a propganda tool for some very dark forces. Narcissism is the tip of the iceberg as I see it--a symptom of life out of sync with spiritual values, and out of balance with a healthy form of global governance. Pax and Blessings!
I agree with you completely, Riki. Talking, first, about the common mental “labels” we’re seeing so much of (bipolar 1 & 2, clinical depression, anxiety, et al), I think much of it is only treated for symptoms and often with very powerful psychotropic drugs. These patients, for the most part, receive zero actual therapy aimed at healing or at least helping them learn effective ways to mitigate symptoms without drugs. And we all know why that is.
I agree that people tend to associate wealth with intelligence and goodness and that is a grave mistake. Obviously, some wealthy people ARE good and benevolent, but to assume that is stupid.
Yes--once again, our society has been infected with a "one size fits all" approach to health and healing. And as we've seen over the last three years(actually much longer) Pharma is considered the end all-be all for all of our ailments; rather than adressing the cause of dis-ease, merely treating the symptoms--which is of course, highly profitable. I call the Pharma model: a sickness maintainence program.

Yes...maybe we can consider the idea of "trickle-down" narcissism.

That’s a great subname for big pharma - Sickness Maintenance Program.
