Friday’s Word

The article I read says:

“A narcissist in a family demands to be the center around which the entire family orbits. He/she needs constant attention and validation.

The narcissist becomes hostile if he does not get the praise and power he so desperately craves.”

A narcissist suffers from a serious character flaw—a mental illness.

In the narcissist’s mind, he is the center of the world. Nothing truly counts but him.

Others have value only in their service to his ego.

A narcissist in a family perverts the whole family system. The family exists only to serve the narcissist.

That’s in a family.

What would happen if a narcissist were the head of a nation?

First of all, the narcissist would have to surround himself with enablers.

All narcissists must have enablers.

Narcissists are bullies, and they bully those around them into serving them and only them.

If a narcissist were head of a nation, commonly accepted human values would be perverted.

Only people who can give power to the narcissist have any value.

The poor count for nothing. What do they have to give?

So, take from them their health insurance, their food assistance—anything that sustains them.

And the foreign poor are of even less value.

What can a starving child far away give the narcissist?

It is estimated that 14 million people will die in Africa in the next five years with the elimination of USAID assistance.

No, it’s not hypothetical, this narcissistic leader.

It’s America now.

And millions will die.
