An interesting journey indeed! I would add Sadism - the unnecessary, intentional infliction of harm to the Dark Triad. It isn’t new - Augustine called Libido Dominandi -the lust for domination. I’m partial to John Milton’s languaging.
Some two months ago, you had a thoughtful examination of how victimhood must be displaced and overcome with a Hero’s Journey - better for the individual and the society. Warriors. True.
Warrior is one of the four archetypal energies we manifest: Warrior, Lover, Magician, King. A trip to Westminster Abbey boggles the mind of what humans can accomplish - provided we are humbly grounded in Truth before God.
Methinks Dr. Malone checks all four archetypal boxes - Truth Warrior and Lab Magician are self-evident; Lover = horses to keep humbly grounded; King energy is most needed and admirable - you’ve pointed out semi-regularly that your (and Jill’s) lives are no longer about you - but are in service of a greater cause - the essence of the Wise King - who always says “think for yourselves”.
Once the acceptance of my responsibility for my actions and reactions to life became evident, the first question that I had to answer was; Am I a victim, or a volunteer? The truth "will" set me free!
Heartfelt thanks Doc!
