If you look closely at the image of the Satyr, you will notice that it is a metaphor of a man with a very inflated Ego, very fixated on the size of his penis and genital pleasures.
I noticed that from the inside, each person resembles a soap bubble to himself... Our existence and assets are ephemeral and uncertain. Fear and a sense of own insignificance, perhaps, there is the only the General, which unites all people...
In reality, a small person can only take small seeds... The guardian angel is small as a mustard seed, but he will grow. The devil-tempter is small, but his illusions are huge and blind the eyes. If you break the lie, you'll find nothing but a pathetic, helpless worm. And if the devil grows only illusions, like a soap bubble, then the seed of an angel, if you love him, will turn into a huge tree.
Pride is a lie, for pride is an inflated bubble, and the representation of oneself is greater than it really is. And this soap bubble looks down and contemptuously at those who are smaller than him, although, in fact, equal to them or even less.
The bubble can no longer grow, one more movement and it will burst. The demon is the one who saw everything, you will not surprise him with anything else. The demon is the one who has attained perfection and lost hope on the growth front of him only death.
The idealist builds his self-esteem from external love. It seems to him that if he is loved, he corresponds to his ideal. That is, the idealist only thinks that he loves another person, work or art, in fact, this person loves himself and his Ego, which swells and swells with pride, if such a person is loved more than necessary.
Everything that a person does not see does not exist. And people don't see everything they don't like... Therefore, the less a person loves, the more his world resembles a dot. A person who has collapsed to a point feels a chronic fear of the mismatch between his idea of himself and reality, he seems to himself vanishingly small and ephemeral, something like a soap bubble.
You have suffered all your life, and you will continue to suffer until you die. Your whole life is suffering. Even those memories and things that you have included in your self-esteem, inflating your ego, do not bring you happiness. Your disease is called chronic neurosis, which used to be called pride. The point of psychotherapy is whether you can stop your torment or not. The treatment process takes from 3 to 9 months, if you are lucky, you will be saved.
People become alcoholics and drug addicts out of fear that they are not respected. These people's egos are inflated by increased self-esteem, and any lack of respect causes them anxiety and pain, causing them to run away from reality or show aggression.
Evil is addiction, addiction is pride and thirst pleasure, complacency, and an inflated Ego. When an addict falls into a drug withdrawal, he begins to create hellish evil.
From an overabundance of joy and pleasure A person's ego swells and he loses humility, becomes arrogant and aggressive. The Bible says about this: pride goes before a fall. So I recommend that you avoid complacency.
Complacency is a state when a person is filled with the illusion of pleasure, which makes his Ego swell, and aggression increases. Time quickly destroys the proud, but here and now the power of pride is immense. Pride dominates the moment of love, but over a long period of time, love destroys pride.
A manipulator is a person who is dependent on their self-esteem. The feeling of power inflates this person's self-esteem. Everything over which it dominates is included in itself. Any loss of power generates a decrease Ego and pain. Manipulators are terribly sensitive and very afraid of pain. The manipulator is ready to do anything to maintain power, and so maintain their self-esteem.
You judge those below you and it inflates your self-esteem and Ego. You become addicted to pleasure and to the idea that you are good. Now you are very vulnerable, any doubts about your ideality will bring you pain, and you have lost your immunity to pain, you are afraid of pain. Now you are a slave to pain and fear.
