The martyr's complex

in messiah •  7 years ago  (edited)

Despite the obstinacy of any savior, no one can unbind a martyr from his desire to give meaning to his existence through a last desperate act, recounting his abandonment, his anticipated death, his own suicide! Projecting in this senseless act an image of a Messiah on his cross, paying for the sins of all mankind, provided that he is loved by the love of which he lacks for himself ... Abiding to his brainwashing education that etymologically led him to confuse self-love for egocentricity, for he has failed to fully accept and love himself
