It’s not simply insanity. It’s a broken society that isn’t raising individuals with an insanely overinflated value of “self”, and a complete lack of teaching any sort of emotional education or true self control.

So when that insane bubble of self gets popped by reality they have no skills or ability to process disappointment other than to lash out..

The best teaching for the young is the example of the adults.

I am in the workforce at two jobs trying to ‘get the job done’. Showing up and working is just one way to present an example to others.

I must reject selfishness and anger at all times in my own home. I must not intoxicate myself with anything that will distract me from functioning right.

I’m a currently sober drunk and even religious belief was an intoxicating distraction from taking the right actions.

Jesus spoke clearly about hypocrisy and false distracting legalistic teaching like I have lived through and experienced. Pharisees and Sadducees are among us today but I need to not be one of them.
