Dark Side: Narcissism
In the Charles Schulz comic strip Peanuts, Charlie Brown is pictured reading a book on the sun, and the earth to Lucy. Charlie reads, "And the Earth revolves around the sun..." and Lucy interrupts him saying, "The world revolves around the sun? I thought the world revolved around ME!"
Lucy's comment is the mantra of Narcissism; it is all about you and no one else. In this session, we will examine how we all have moments where we think that it is all about ourselves and can never imagine thinking about others. In spite of someone's Christian talk, this is a major issue that Christian believers do not recognize and deny in their thinking and behavior. Someone may acknowledge, love and follow Jesus but miss how he or she may in fact think that everyone needs to heed their opinion, position, and/or personality. Nothing can be further from the truth. Narcissism is a common disorder and sin that everyone in the world needs to eradicate.
