I am the BOSS!

By: Alaa Babiker

Life is a giant school. You get to learn it’s lessons in such difficult ways, and people get to be showing their ultimate abilities by the end of each exam life provides, some will pass, and others fail terribly that they don’t even know what hit them, but again stands only those who have morals and those who are willing to choose the right over the wrong.

There are different types of humans. Ones I would like to elaborate here are the characters of exploitative orientations; yes the narcissists. These people know exactly how to manipulate others and are well aware of their actions and reactions towards everyone surrounding them. Scientists have classified those people into categories, with few percentage to have Narcissistic Personality Disorder, a mental health diagnosis that affects about 1% of people. But yet why does the percentage seem to be higher than 1%?! People around are losing it underestimating all those who are better than them, stupidly thinking they are passing life’s exams while they are terribly failing them.

Underestimating a human being in front of others does not make a better version of oneself nor adds any value to one’s miserable life, by doing so a person will be failing all life’s exams and yet not realizing that until its too late. And by too late I mean the others will cross miles and that same narcissist will remain at the same spot of life forever!

Narcissists acting as if they are “The Boss” at every situation and at any occasion are gaining nothing but lack of respect from everyone around them, and they are losing big without their realization!

In the end, may God grant wisdom upon our leaders to end this war.
