There is a remedy.....
that has a great feeling of detachment and sense of being separate, the
aetiology of which could evolve out of a history of a hard, cruel and
troubled life - one that is spent low down in the pecking order, has been
put down and made to feel low, one that is downcast, trodden on.
Rationally there then develops a great need to counter these feelings and a
hard skin forms to protect from the harshness of reality. They do not care
if they are destructive and break things/relationships etc. There is no
guilt or remorse and no caring about what others think of them.
But, there remains a real need to belong, and this can only be achieved by
actually reinforcing another kind of detachment - that of superiority, being
critical, censorial, domineering, dictatorial, a great need to police
affairs and events because efficiency must rule their work.
They cannot share with the rest because they feel their view of the world is
different and do not want to think like others.
Constantly feel detached but need to be joined. They feel alone, want to be
part of but cannot because they feel the rest of the world is mad - feel
defiant and will not be manipulated or distracted - emotional and
intellectual tunnel vision.
In their worst state they take a very strong dislike to people and speak
with malice and hatred about colleagues. They are very assertive, impatient
and aggressive - not aware of hurting people's feelings and don't care
anyway.
There is a great deal more in this remedy of course, but you get a
presenting picture.
And the remedy is....?
