Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

Even your family eventually betrays you

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma—which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

Paranoid personality disorder (PPD)
Paranoid personality disorder (PPD) is a mental disorder characterized by paranoia and a pervasive, long-standing suspiciousness and generalized mistrust of others. Individuals with this personality disorder
may be hypersensitive, easily insulted, and habitually relate to the
world by vigilant scanning of the environment for clues or suggestions
that may validate their fears or biases. Paranoid individuals are eager
observers. They think they are in danger and look for signs and threats
of that danger, potentially not appreciating other evidence.
They tend to be guarded and suspicious and have quite constricted
emotional lives. Their reduced capacity for meaningful emotional
involvement and the general pattern of isolated withdrawal often lend a quality of schizoid isolation to their life experience. People with PPD may have a tendency to bear grudges, suspiciousness,
tendency to interpret others’ actions as hostile, persistent tendency to
self-reference, or a tenacious sense of personal right. Patients with this disorder can also have significant comorbidity with other personality disorders.

Gospel of Matthew 16:2b–3 (the signs of the times)
Greek
Ὀψίας γενομένης λέγετε, Εὐδια, πυρράζει γὰρ ὁ οὐρανός καὶ πρωὶ,
Σήμερον χειμών, πυρράζει γὰρ στυγνάζων ὁ οὐρανός. τὸ μὲν πρόσωπον τοῦ
οὐρανοῦ γινώσκετε διακρίνειν, τὰ δὲ σημεῖα τῶν καιρῶν οὐ δύνασθε.
Translation (RSV)
When it is evening, you say, “It will be fair weather; for the sky is
red.” And in the morning, “It will be stormy today, for the sky is red
and threatening.” You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky,
but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.

Passion Versus Obsession
Because passionate people are driven to create as a way to grow and achieve their potential, they are constantly seeking out others who share their passion in a quest for collaboration, friction and inspiration. Because they have a strong sense of self, passionate people are well-equipped to form relationships. They present themselves in ways that invite trust – they have little time for pretense and they are willing to express vulnerability and need in order to receive the help they need in achieving their own potential. Because they are passionate, they are willing to share their own knowledge and experience when they encounter someone sharing their passion. They are also intensely curious, seeking to understand the other passionate people they encounter in order to better see where and how they can collaborate to get better faster.
In contrast, obsessive people hide behind their objects of obsession. The objects are what are important, not others or even themselves. As a result, obsessive people are hard to get to know and trust – they share little of themselves and they exhibit minimal interest or curiosity regarding the needs or feelings of others. One of the hallmarks of obsessive people is that they tend to talk endlessly and often repetitively about the same thing, rarely inviting commentary or reaction from others, and ultimately pushing others away with their obsessive rants.

Synchronicity is a concept, first explained by psychoanalyst Carl Jung, which holds that events are “meaningful coincidences” if they occur with no causal relationship yet seem to be meaningfully related. During his career, Jung furnished several slightly different definitions of it. Jung variously defined synchronicity as an “acausal connecting (togetherness) principle,” “meaningful coincidence”, and “acausal parallelism.” He introduced the concept as early as the 1920s but gave a full statement of it only in 1951 in an Eranos lecture.

Because parents have power over children. They feel they have to do what their parents say. But the love of money is the root of all evil. And this is a sweet child. And to see him turn like this, this isn’t him. This is not him.

Why do people judge others?
People judge others because the human
brain has natural preconceptions and prejudices, argues Women’s Health.
The part of the brain responsible for emotional and social behavior
activates unconscious attitudes upon which people judge others, even
before knowing who they are, asserts Time.
Judging others is a normal
reaction, notes Psychology Today. This is because human beings have a
natural instinct for survival, which makes them defensive and judgmental
when they feel threatened. People also judge when they don’t understand
the reason for the behavior of others. When people are not aware of the
pain others are experiencing, they fail to understand why they become
difficult and judge them. People judge others because the human mind
naturally looks for the negative, reveals Psychology Today.
People judge others because they forget that all human beings make
mistakes. People have differences in the ways of seeking happiness and
fulfillment, which make it hard for others to accept some behaviors.
Lack of education on the disabilities that affect behavior also makes
people judge others, asserts Psychology Today.
People also judge others because of their appearance or weight.
Research reveals that most people assume that faces with prominent
cheekbones and inner eyebrows are more trustworthy, according to Time.
People should try to know others before judging them, recommends
Psychology Today. In addition, people should not underestimate the
struggles of others.
