self images and narcissism

God walked through the garden and looked for Adam
After finding them hiding, He asked him why he hide and wore a cloth.
Then, He knows that they have eaten the fruit.
Their eyes are open and they know how to lie and hide.

Human being are natural born liars, good at conning others due to his con-sciousness
That's what makes us human, the ability to manipulate things, create artifacts, and manipulate symbols
We fish by using plastic warms that looks like food to animals
We trap animals by using peace of meat with hidden rope
We even have the ability to trick other human by creating illusion like in movies and magic shows

The best lie that we create is the mask that we wear that is called person -ality.
Ending ality means looks like the object, such as reality means looks like real, personality means looks like a person.
We somehow can show this mask to others and fools others to think that it's who we are.
Actually, we don't choose to wear this mask, we are stuck with these masks
when we play roles growing up that enable us to survive childhood.
These masks are usually social desirable images that we present to others
Nice is a personality traits and is not quality or virtue. Kindness is a virtue.
Nice is a mask we put to please others
In other words, this mask is our defense mechanism that we employ to survive turbulent childhood
However, the wall that we build to defend ourselves can become our prison walls
We eventually forget that it is only a mask and adopt it as our real selves, adopting our ideal self as our real selves.
After adopting this as real self, we reject or hate our real self but our real self can not go away
We spend most of our time doing public relations and damage control to maintain this social image in public
In private, our real selves become shadow and act beyond our awareness, hurting self and others
Eventually, we have to put on heavier and heavier make up and fancier appearance but we are still not happy
Because the real self getting deeper and darker as it was rejected and hated more.
In the severe case, the boundary between the ideal self and real self becomes rigid and we idolize our ideal self as real self, we become a narcissistic person who can play the ideal role with charm but with a dark private self.
In the most extreme case, a person will develop psychopathy who lost connection with his real self and feelings and he become a mask without a person behind the mask. They sometimes are able to achieve accomplishments that are idolized by people but their dark side will kill others in private.

Narcissisism is heavily supported by the commercial marketing who has no problems supplying symbol of wealth, beauty, and perfections with their product and brand. Right now, it's also supported by social networking media who allows persons to impress others by displaying their narcissistic thoughts and images about themselves to others.
