Immunity is a battle between ‘me’ and ‘not me.’ Our brains and bodies are designed to be entirely egocentric. Genes are self-interested because they ensure their own survival. If I don’t exist, then there is no one else and no love. After all, loving others is an extension of loving myself. If there ’ s a distortion or immaturity in self-love, even when loving others, it can leave a scar, and that wound leaves a scar on me again. The victim consciousness forgets this mechanism. Just as immunity is vital for physical health, it’s equally crucial in mental health or religion — the immune system against self-love must remain strong. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A good manager needs to grasp human needs before they can act virtuously. Focusing on morality without addressing desires leads to an authoritarian organization. Authoritarian structures are detrimental because they stifle individual spontaneity. Organizations that suppress this spontaneity face excessive costs and are likely to fall behind in competition.
