The Inner Child
(elevating selfishness to narcissism)



The idea that there exists a template of human perfection that can be accessed to not only repair damage, but achieve higher levels of human potential has nothing to support it but the wish it were true.

The advocacy of this theory is not only ineffective, it can propel those that accept it into worlds of delusion. This can be more harmful than the snake oil salesman of the past.

There are those who advocate ideas of human perfectibility. They have been tried in utopian communities and even some religious communities for hundreds of years. They are all proven to fail. Yet new attempts continue to be made.

There is a philosophical tradition that diverted from Christianity almost 1,000 years ago with Italian Humanism continuing through the so-called Enlightenment and Progressive eras and flowering in modern Liberalism. This tradition began with the elevation of man and the diminishment of God until evolution allowed a complete divorce from God. Man, now seeing himself as the measure of all things, This distorted view of man leads them to view man as, if not perfect, then perfectible. The elevation in thinking man is the measure of all things begins to take Secularism, which is supposed to be the absence of religion, and instead make it an alternative religion, The worship of man in general and self in particular.

There are many harmful theories and philosophies that are propagated as truth. Perhaps a good starting point is to take a closer look at evolution. Some see in evolution a vindication of the selfishness that advocates a “dog eat dog” view of human existence.
