Spiked hits the "ME ME ME" generation who want to kill themselves

A long essay on the narcissism behind the so called "assisted suicide" movement.

In Spiked (of all places).

Pharaoh had been a member of the Society for Old Age Rational Suicide (SOARS), a UK-based group that aims to change existing law to provide elderly, mentally competent individuals, who are suffering from various health problems, with a doctor’s assistance to die. Many of those who belong to these groups see themselves as rugged individuals who blaze their own paths. But this is also delusional. Rugged individualism would surely demand that you do the act yourself, rather than get government assistance to do it. Pharaoh was a nurse who surely knew how to ensure her own death without having to fly to Switzerland. But part of the plea for assisted suicide is always a plea for official validation of suffering.
The narcissist feels a constant need to be noticed, to be recognised, to have his or her feelings validated and find some reflection of his or her self in the world. If the narcissist is fearful, then the world must do something about it. The narcissist sees a world that does not feel their existential pain (after all, physical pain does not even feature in the top-five reasons why people in Oregon opt for assisted suicide) as the cause of that suffering.
If this is not narcissism, then why are Pharaoh and other assisted-suicide advocates so vocal about their need, not just to slip away quietly, but to have their decision validated by the state? The drive behind the assisted-suicide lobby is the idea that the world must mould itself around the perceived needs of ‘afflicted’ individuals.
None of this is meant as an attack on Pharaoh herself. (Although, as others have pointed out, her plea for people not to judge her decision might have been more convincing had she not courted so much publicity.) In truth, the impetus behind Pharaoh’s decision to take her own life is shared by more mainstream campaigners for assisted suicide.

and of course, once the taboo is lifted, lots of people will be offed who want to live, especially the poor and handicapped and minorities.

it is being pushed as a way to save money, as Pope John Paul II has pointed out bluntly in his encyclical.

Which is why the new Pope of the church of what's happening now is condemning air conditioning instead of bluntly defending life (yes he defends life in warm mushy statements that are deep inside his writings...)

here come the flood, here come the flood

Father Z notes that the sisters of the church of what' s happening now have a theme of spouting water.

but not reading the Bible, they chose the verse that described the start of Noah's flood

And the famous lithograph the wave was used, ignoring that the wave was threatening the poor fishermen trying to transport fish to sell

well, at least they are merely fuzzy, not heretical as in past assemblies when they danced in front of their new age guru.

for our prayers

Shadow synod...rich German sponsor a shadow synod to plot changing Catholic dogma.

Baptist and Catholic churches bombed in New Mexico.

Druggies? Drug gangs? racists? liberal activists? or most probably teenagers involved in Satanism playing pranks?

When I was in Pennsylvania, the Wesleyan church running Michael's school had Satanic slogans and a dismembered animal placed inside, as did Father Raptosh's Russian Orthodox church.

In this little coal town, Catholicism was dead thanks to a bishop who covered up pedophilia and discouraged Marian devotion or charismatic groups. So many Catholic there went to Father Raptosh's prayer services or teaching conferences (Orthodox dogma wasn't much different from Catholic dogma, whereas the nuns running Catholic teaching meetings tended to be overly liberal, to say the least),

So how did the Satanists know to hit these two churches?

And right now I'm reading the second Perotti "darkness" novel, where a Christian school is targeted for disciplining a student, and there is a subplot about new age conspiracies. Yet the Christian school I mentioned earlier was cited by some federal official who tried to fine them for not having a handicapped entrance. Who has the time and energy to check a small 50 student school has a handicapped entrance?

What saved them was that they took no government funding, so were not covered by the law.

But I guess Brother Fetterman was holy and so someone somehow knew who to target.

right now I changed this blog to private, because I ranted against my step son's misuse of my husband's money by openly flaunting his gay lover, including in our home....while Lolo was being buried, and Joy sold rice for the funeral and I spent a lot of my own savings for the plot and later the shelter for his grave, my stepson was up fixing up the third floor storage room as a private apartment aka love nest. He wants us to eat there with his paramour, and I won't do this. I didn't even attend the party he held without his paramour for Ruby's teachers who didn't know the back story of why he moved out from his apartment with his family and moved upstairs.

I am too arthritic to climb the stairs, too stubborn to approve of the whole situation.

I used to support gay marriage because it would be a better alternative than this type of thing, but since this is his third paramour in ten years, not counting the raped employee, I doubt it.

And this one is siphoning off a lot of money for his family. A LOT of money.

I lent Chano money to pay the workers, but found out that despite being given 35 thousand pesos (800 dollars) he only . paid our workers half their salaries (15thousand pesos were owed). So now he wants money to plant our rice, and I have none to give him...and he has had to lay off the other workers. What were these other workers doing? Some type of construction we don't need done on the farm, plus partying...
