In observance of Veterans Day, let’s acknowledge and thank veterans for their service and sacrifice. Please be mindful of the fact that many veterans lost friends and comrades in combat or to suicide, hence, it’s a somber day.

Hate, jealousy, and envy are dangerous and destructive to oneself and others. Dehumanizing the other leads to violence (verbal and physical) and abuse. Question your group-think thought patterns and other cognitive distortions, practice critical thinking, and pay attention to the truth and facts. Choose love and kindness toward yourself and others.

In such a self-centered society, many people have gone to the extreme of narcissismbeing solely concerned about their own personal well-being and agendas while excluding and exploiting others. Narcissism is not only epidemic but is also a pandemic of our times that has been normalized and accepted. Self-serving, narcissistic people are incapable and unwilling to love due to a lack of authentic self and love for one’s self and others.
