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”
The dichotomy of history in which mankind has separated emotions and reason is long. People have thought that emotions are inferior and that reason is superior. In priority relations, emotions seem to have less stake than the reason in our minds. But let's see a psychopath. The rationale for justifying their bizarre behavior is mostly reason and logic. Emotions, especially empathy, are hard to find for them. If the work is done with reason and logic only, the chances of success may be high, but there remains a high possibility of aftereffects. The world moves in a way that values emotions more. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
