A person is self-obsessive. As a result of which, he may turn narcissist. (lets say, he does. okay?)
The narcissist, that he is, by being himself, in the long run, destroys himself.
So, by just being himself, he is just destroying himself?
What kind of a paradox is that?
He can't be... if at all he does, ...then he ain't gonna be!
more thoughts and further ponderings:
Being narcissistic requires him to be himself. if he is himself, then he'll destroy himself!
Not being narcissistic means, the whole point of this blogpost disappears!
so, the original quote is further elaborated as:
A narcissist can't exist. If at all he/she does exist, then, he/she ain't gonna be existing in some time.
....

(or, am i going wrong somewhere?)

vish, there is a difference in loving himself and being self obsessive. Being self-obsessive, i feel is not good for him, rather loving himself will definitely take him places!!
so, i guess u've mixed both these things in what u've written!!
thanks preethi. i've edited my post after your comment..
when i said loving himself, it is excess love for oneself, which is nothing but self obsession.
Hm.., but i'm still not convinced.
Narcissistic, by being himself, lives for himself, thinks for himself and thinks of himself.
So his being, does well neither to him nor to anybody else.
A narcissistic can be a good paradigm for how to lead life with self-obsession and destroy ones life.
"A narcissist, by being himself, destroys himself."
A self loathing person would do that as well.
Maybe what they both don't consider is that preservation is really not an individual's achievement.
Eternity, all of space, and every life form that has been born and reborn in infinite number does not owe itself to the narcissist, nor does it target the selfloather.
I cannot imagine what the narcissist is going through, but I suppose his virtues are more possible than he'd like to believe. I mean-
If he knows he's that good, then why is he so stunned?
@mystique: thanks. i couldn't agree with you more..
@shruti: "may be what they both don't consider is that preservation is really not an individual's achievement"
you don't know how much difference that statement has made. thanks!
