For example, when we hear other stories, of people who are really struggling, or in a worse situation than us, those feelings of unhappiness or upset may disappear in some individuals. One of my favorite quotes in the book: “Perception is not simply a reflection of reality but a powerful element of reality” (Loeb, 2014, p. 174). What is perception if not the reality of what we are able to see and appreciate before us. My opinion is that the greater the appreciation, the greater the empathy for needs, systems and others. For some people this may be easy to achieve, for others the word “empathy” has no meaning. Then we enter their world of narcissism and psychopathy which will be the topic of my next writing. For narcissistic people the world only evolves around them and what is important to them matters to no one else. It could potentially generate conflicts that are more difficult to resolve. These are not as difficult as we think and they are not as difficult to solve, it is part of the way we think, feel and act that makes us what we want.
