The Narcissist’s Desiderata
Go create the noise and haste
And remember what cruelty there is in silence
As far as possible never surrender
Be on good terms with all in the façade
Speak no truth often and wildly
And listen to nobody
They are dull and ignorant
And have no story
Embrace loud and aggressive persons
They are fuel to the spirit
If you compare youself with others
You will become envious and jealous
But always be the greater person than them
Exaggerate your achievements and always plan
Cultivate interest in your career, never be humble
Falisfy your posessions, keep appropriating fortunes
Exaggerate accomplishments in your business affairs
For our world is ripe for trickery
Do not be blind to virtue
Many empaths strive for high ideals
And everywhere is full of fuelling opportunities
Be someone else
Especially you must feign affection
Cynically exploit the notion of love
For in the face of dwindling fuel supplies
It is reliable and necessary
Take kindliness for yourself over the years
Gradually causing the surrender of all things to you
Nurture strength of manipulation to defend you in sudden treachery
Create distress with your dark imaginings
Their fears are born of fatigue and loneliness
Exercise a ruthless discipline
Be focused for yourself
You are the centre of the universe
The tallest of trees and the brightest of stars
You have every right to rule here
And it should now be clear to you
That your plans unfold as they should
Therefore, be a god
Whatever you conceive rule as your own
And commandeer their labours and achievements
Maintain their confusion to keep hold of their soul
With all your sham, skulduggery and breaking of dreams
Create a false beautiful world
Be powerful
Strive to be the powerful.

“Maintain their confusion to keep hold of their soul” Throughout my life, starting with my mother, this has been true. My alias could be, “I’m so fucking confused.” I must have said this a million times. Having your soul confused is living a life caged feeling like the victim of a vampire. Probably why I like the series, “True Blood” so much.” Thank you again HF for your hard work. Because of it, at 68 I am finally developing perspective. I will thank you many times, I’m sure.
I had to read this again.. Its excellent.
Confusion confusiom
This is great. I wasn’t sure whether it was okay to laugh or not because I think you meant this serious, but I just did.
Thank you LO. You can take what I write and place your own interpretation on it, indeed I encourage that. I deliver the information and you can determine what you make of it.
Thank you, HG. 🙂
The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie,
comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others.
And having no respect he ceases to love,
and in order to occupy and distract himself without love he gives way to passions and coarse pleasures, and sinks to bestiality in his vices,
all from continual lying to other men and to himself.

Maintain their confusion…my mother had a houseful of us confused for quite some time
This shows the supreme talent you are 👍🏻👍🏻.
At least you can feel so powerful by being so incredibly talented. Clearly above others in the area. 💝
Thank you.
No surprise I find your version far more appealing than the original.
Not it isn’t and thank you.
Thank you.
