Individuals with narcissistic, hedonistic, histrionic, borderline, and antisocial traits often display a lack of emotional maturity. They are driven by powerful, short-term instincts typical of early childhood, such as anger and the desire for immediate gratification. As the cortex matures, individuals learn to regulate their behaviors, prioritize long-term outcomes, and integrate the perspectives of others. This progression towards maturity promotes productive and sustainable interactions, while immaturity leads to divisiveness and destruction. Consequently, mental health stems not from internal psyche alone but from the harmony of one's existence in relation to future consequences and social connections. True well-being emerges when individuals balance these elements, resulting in a holistic sense of mental equilibrium that parallels musical harmony.
