Episode 321: Rewarding YouTubers with no compassion
Why we need to have compassion for those who behave badly. There is a tiny glip in the recording because someone texted me and the recording stopped briefly! But the rest was so much in flow I've just left it! What is missing in the audio;*Split Personalities or Borderline Personalities or what I call Duality (a positive outlook) - means that we don't have a strong sense of self - of who we are. We are afraid to stay as that person so we borrow roles and identities from those around us and try to become those people. In every way - become a character of a person. You can see the pedestal placement and displacement as a child would lead you to think - what do I need to be for you to reward me?
