Should a narcissist outsource?
Self-love is, mostly, a socially unacceptable notion.
Arrogant. Narcissistic. Selfish.
Really?
Is it really?
What about being comfortable in our own skin.
Confident.
Maybe a narcissist should outsource their self love to mitigate their (potentially) bad reputation?

The biggest reason why Christianity gets a bad rap from some
One bad apple does not spoil the whole bunch, or does it?
Christianity is such a lofty aspiration – to be a good and decent person all the time.
Yet we are flawed individuals. Every last one of us.
Weirdly, and inappropriately, we expect Christians (or Muslims, etc) to be perfect.
There in lies the negative stereotype dilemma.

What’s our obligation to live up to our reputation?
Just last night, overheard a 60-year old at a nearby restaurant table talking about going to Mass everyday, and as if those that don’t, aren’t real believers.
Interest duly peaked. Ears listening in and out of his conversation, and the one at our table.
As he had a few more drinks, he began talking like a pirate, cursing, bad mouthing – yet having a glorious time.
No judging, yet surely taking notice and contemplating it all.

One thing the Herd is oblivious to
Some indulgences can be spiritual experiences, even cartoons with amazing storytelling.
One thing the Herd is oblivious to:
We judge ourselves on our intentions, others judge us on our actions.
We tell stories about what is important to ourselves, and believe others can see our good intentions.
Never gonna happen.
Everyday, preach the Gospel, and if necessary, use words. (Saint Francis)
