Welcome back everyone. Take a moment to think about that person in your life. Maybe a co-worker, a friend, or even a public figure who just seems to embody everything you despise. They are arrogant, maybe they are deceitful, or perhaps they are just unbearably loud. When you see them, you feel a visceral, almost irrational wave of disgust or anger. This reaction is instant and it’s powerful. You feel a deep conviction that you are fundamentally better than they are. Now, let’s be truly honest about the person you see in the mirror. Have you ever been absolutely furious about someone else’s mistake only to realize later that day you made the exact same mistake yourself? Have you ever condemned a person for their selfishness while simultaneously justifying a selfish act of your own? This sudden gap between your high morals and your real behavior is often confusing. It can feel like you have a hidden dark passenger inside, one that acts completely against your conscious values.
