Adolf Hitler was a nut who had a tremendous impact on the history of
the 20th century. Is it any wonder that on or around the time of
his birthday, other nut cases come out of the woodwork to kill and
injure people? Waco, Oklahoma City, Columbine, and now Virginia
Tech?
At the core of the problem of narcissism seems to be self-hatred so
deep that it becomes very difficult for a person to accept. This
may be rooted in a person's painful experiences of early childhood or
adolescence sometimes even where there is no memory. When one
accepts the condition of self-hatred with all of its devastating
effects on personality, then there is no longer narcissism.
Instead it becomes replaced by humility, ideally humility on the basis
of trust in God, Who alone can bring anyone through the difficult times
in life and Who offers real happiness for a person.
