Creating Chaos

I’ve known narcissists in my life so it is easy for me to recognize the signs. They create a general state of disorder, spreading drama that they love to start. And then they take command as “savior” to solve the issue they just created. They engage in behaviors to satisfy their need to feel superior and a desire to stand out among others, or even better, to occupy a position above them. Every problem is a “huge” problem that is only solved with lots of drama and only fixed by them.Our culture seems to thrive on insincere interactions and man-made problems that only a few can solve.During my prayer time, I’ve been contrasting this picture with what I see in Jesus.Throughout the Gospels, Jesus calmly goes about preaching, teaching and healing. No mega-million rallies, or fierce chants directed against others. In many cases He even told those healed to not tell anyone. How’s that for humility
