Narcissism has a time and place | Abhijit Naskar | Insan Himalayanoğlu
Narcissism has a time and place, cold detachment has a time and place. Problem is, we’ve made a world out of narcissism and detachment, while hypocritically diagnosing them as clinical on one hand, and sugarcoating them as self-care or stoicism on the other. In reality, it’s all nonsense. When people are upset at you, with no fault of your own, or when they come to take away your dream, that’s when you gotta let detachment kick on. Likewise, when shallow nitwits commit harm in front of your eyes, that’s when you gotta exercise your narcissism, and treat them like a parent would treat their child when they’ve done something wrong. Even the ugliest of animal faculty can be used for good, when wielded with conscience. It’s about using the whole of your mind, rather than giving in to all the prehistoric intellectual dualities of narcissism and altruism, or attachment and detachment. When people are helpless, to them be a christ – but when they behave heartless instead, be the light to their lies.
