By Heather Wood Rudúlph and Athena D. Williams One woman’s narcissistic indulgence is another’s self-affirming need. Okay, that was my attempt at being politically correct, and I’m already over it.
So, what, exactly defines narcissistic indulgence? Plastic tits, red-soled shoes that amount to the cost of the mortgage or rent, or the proliferation of the itty-bitty pooch and the hairless cooch? The truth is most of us love money, and I don’t see the harm in that.
It makes life a hell of a lot easier. I do, however, question the why and the what. Why do we put ourselves in debt, take off our clothes for strangers (or senior citizens), or worse—date men we can’t stand to indulge our narcissistic needs?
And what does that say about who we are? And, how do the lies that we tell ourselves to justify our borderline dubious actions cloud the soul? Most definitely, this is a multi-layered issue, and the answer is, I don’t quite know.
I do know this—things can make us feel better about ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
