Who Is to Blame, Narcissists or Society?

We have to admit that society is doing everything for a narcissist to live his narcissism, and people are supporting that because that is a way they can make a living.

If a narcissist wants to eat, gold-wrapped steaks, presupposed he has the means, he can! If he wishes to fly in penis-shaped rockets into space, he can! There is nothing imaginable that we couldn’t or wouldn’t offer our narcissists to live up to their best version.

Why are we doing that?

Society is shaping people like them, and society is supporting them. Yeah, but one can say, these space companies are at least creating jobs.
But we can’t eat dickrockets and nothing that comes out of them is eatable, or habitable, or anything good for. Money is just transferred useless around and is ending as usual in the deepest pockets, while it could go directly where it could do something of value.

If somebody wants to fly into orbit, he should build himself a rocket, as Mad Mike did. The guy who launched himself in his self-built rocket into the air. Albeit not that successful, that he could report after the trip or
how it was.
I guess, we can safely say, that he had no luck in thinking, but that is something he has in common with humanity, so we can’t blame him for that.

Of course, many psychologists shake their heads, when they hear something like that and say, the fact that one is building rockets which look like penises or phalli, isn’t a clear sign of healthy or unhealthy narcissism and I understand that.

Needless to say that we can ask the elephants in India, the orangutans in Borneo, the sharks whose fins are chopped off for soup, the pigs who are confined in spaces so small that they can’t turn around and the trees in this area, where I live, which are dying, because of too many dry years, we can ask them if humans are narcissists?

But would we accept such unqualified answers, when it is not coming from an expert’s mouth?

When it comes to the billionaires, then there are just two kinds of people, narcissists and narcissists-enabler, and that leads us to a conclusion. If people just stay bystanders all life long and don’t grow, billionaires in penis-shaped rockets will fly over our heads until the end of earth’s experiment to create intelligent species.

Welcome to the human circus! The peak of human evolution! Rich guys in dickrockets, probably in diapers, just in case, at least I think that, looking down from outer space on us.

Of course, it is an outstanding endeavor, for a creature who evolved from algae and slime, to fly to the orbit of its own planet and to look down, to have this magnificent view, even if it is in diapers.

But on the other hand, if humans realized that we compare constantly things with each other and cannot see the uniqueness of things because our thinking steps between us and the thing observed, then we would be almost captured as much or even the same, by the look at the nature in our backyards as by the look from a space rocket because both of the views have one thing in common — and that is uniqueness, the uniqueness of the moment.

Comparison destroys that uniqueness, that is why we are second hand humans, only pure perception can be the antidote to that.
But unfortunately, second-hand people do what second-hand people have to do and usually do, they try to fill that hole with pleasure.

But if they can, they try to fix it with something that only a few can get,
something real extraordinaire, something really unique and something so magnificent, that for ages people could only dream of, and these things are — dickrockets!

Karma is a burning rosette, because of too much Sambal Oelek. I like topics about meditation, zen, psychology, politics and art. Special interest Krishnamurti.
