Narcissists Suffering


 

Hurting and destroying others lives is their pain killing drug. It's an addiction that keeps their own childhood repression intact.

The story of Puff Daddy on the stage of the world gives us more evidence that money and having special gifts doesn't save anyone. 

Having special gifts doesn't mean anything. It can be used to exploit others. 

"If a person is especially gifted, they can use that gift to reinforce the refusal of the truth and keep it away from themselves and others.

 ...It is a great mistake to imagine that one can resolve traumas in a symbolic fashion. If that were possible, poets, painters, and other artists would be able to resolve their pain through creativity. This is not the case, however. Creativity helps us channel the pain of trauma into symbolic acts; it doesn't help us resolve it. If symbolic revenge for maltreatment received in childhood were effective, then dictators would eventually stop humiliating and torturing their fellow human beings. As long as they choose to deceive themselves about who really deserves their hatred, however, and as long as they go on feeding that hatred in symbolic form instead of experiencing and resolving it within the context of their own childhood, their hunger for revenge will remain insatiable" Alice Miller

I have compassion for the children they once were but I have no compassion for the malignant narcissists they have become.
