You are not crazy
You are awake in an insane world

Do schoolbooks from 100 years ago explain the rise of narcissism today?: American Thinker …“We all know them. The people who are clinically self-centered and manipulative. They’re often quite charming (think: Bill Clinton), but they see people not as fellow human beings, but as objects to manipulate for their own advantage. I’m speaking, of course, of narcissists, and they seem to be flooding America. The term “narcissist” refers to the Greek mythological figure, Narcissus, a beautiful young man so cruel to the nymph Echo that the gods punished him by making him fall in love with his own reflection. Since that reflection could not love him back, he died from unrequited love. In modern psych talk, when people suffer from true narcissistic personality disorder, the description is less poetic—and, I’m betting, as you look at the people around you and, especially in politics and public life, very familiar.”
“My focus yesterday was patriotism, but I noticed in passing how many of the essays were about service to others. Probably the most widely known readers were from McGuffey, and the difference between then and now is striking, as seen in this reader aimed at the middle school age group:
McGuffey’s Fifth Eclectic Reader (Revised) (© 1879, 1896, 1907, 1920)
“This book establishes that American public schools firmly sought to mold children’s character: love of God, country, and family was intertwined with a manifest duty to convert that love into service. The contents included such historical, moral, and patriotic essays as Respect for the Sabbath Rewarded, The Battle of Blenheim, King Charles II and William Penn, The Righteous Never Forsaken, The Relief of Lucknow, The Goodness of God, The Hour of Prayer, The Blue and the Gray, Make Way for Liberty, How Sleep the Brave, Supposed Speech of John Adams, No Excellence Without Labor, The Boston Massacre, Sowing and Reaping, Religion the only Basis of Society, The Character of a Happy Life, and The Bible the Best of Classics. In other words, our entire culture encouraged children to turn outwards, not inwards, and to embrace God and country.”
