Of Emotional Abuse & Narccistic Personality Disorder 5 :: Mmegi Online

This piece is a worthy continuance of the former and it will be elucidating on some of the traits that increase our susceptibility to narcissists. It is fundamental to preface that this article is not purposed to blame/shame victims of narcissism.

Drawing your human worth from externals and not from within - We are all born inherently worthy. The concept of human rights in our view best espouses this fact. For example, the right to education is an indicator that human beings are ‘educationally worthy’ and therefore have the capacity and the inate desire to be educated, informed and empowered. It is the realisation and acknowledgement of our educational worthiness that propels mankind to assert and actualise their right to education.

Human rights are a consequence of our human worth and not a ‘bestower’ of our worth.
