Dangerous men
Please don’t use this column to pigeonhole anyone. My hope is the man who recognizes himself will self-evaluate and seek necessary help – I know, I know, it’s asking a lot. But, there is hope, and there is help available.
The dangerous man:
1. Has an inordinate drive to impose his will upon others (very often in a religious context) and seethes “inside” if others resist.
2. Is a puppeteer, who understands love as being a good one – thus there’s no equality, reciprocity, or respect – he’s ALWAYS in charge.
3. Sees most other people as stupid, men and women who’d be better off if they listened or obeyed him.
4. He’s black and white – you are FOR him, or AGAINST him. That’s it!
5. He’s difficult to pin down about his ways or to engage in deep human connection because he handles truth and people like a seasoned juggler.
6. He is often very charming, charismatic, and, (usually unwittingly) employs his defensive arsenal to enhance or defend his image.
7. He is fiercely competitive, even about humility, and can out-humble others and therefore appear above question.
8. Harbors volcanic rage just beneath his smooth, shiny exterior. Very, very few people, usually a wife and children, and those who have a vested interest in allowing it to scare them silent, are witness to, and victims of, this rage.
(Kindly “share” – you may help save a woman or a child who are aching for someone to understand what they have to silently endure.)
