The Right Man

[kompressaur]

I was reading about how animals 'imprint' themselves to what they are born with and have a 'love' of them. Monkeys can snuggle into stones long after birth and i think in general you can give anything to an animal at birth and it will develope a love for it. Then i was reading about this-

Scientists breed world’s first mentally ill mouse - Times Online

SCIENTISTS have created the world’s first schizophrenic mice in an attempt to gain a better understanding of the illness.

It is believed to be the first time an animal has been genetically engineered to have a mental illness. Until now they have been bred only for research into physical conditions such as heart disease. It will allow researchers to study the disease and develop treatments using a limitless supply of laboratory animals.

Animal rights campaigners have condemned the research, saying that it is morally repugnant to create an animal doomed to mental suffering.

Then that got me thinking of something i think i might have a bit of. The Right Man Syndrome. I aint saing that thats the way i am in this example but i can see traits of it in me and like anything in life it's good to understand things and deal with them.

Here Wilson discusses the interesting psychological concept of the "Right Man", which might in other uses also be called the "Dominant Male" or the "Alpha Male", though we are, of course, speaking here about the negative extremes in behaviour of this human type, not just ordinary dominance or leadership.

The "Right Men" can be domestic household tyrants terrorizing their families but they can be found in all fields of life: in business, politics, art, culture. Everyone must have encountered one: a dominating boss, school headmaster or teacher, army officer, father, son, boyfriend, bully.

Essential here is that the "Right Man" must always have his way and is afraid of losing face above all ("How dare you talk to me this way?"): anything that might be an indication of his infallibility or erroneous ways, something that he can never admit.

And if things don't exactly go his way, he may scare people into submission by breaking into outbursts of rage or downright violence. He may demand absolute faithfulness from his woman but "play around" himself, since as a God-like "Right Man" this is his divine prerogative (he thinks). Colin Wilson also points out that there are "Right Women" too, so this is not exclusively male behaviour.

"The notion of 'losing face' suggests an interesting alternative line of thought. It is obviously connected, for example, with the cruelty of Himmler and Stalin when their absolute authority was questioned. They were both men with a touchy sense of self-esteem, so that their response to any suspected insult was vindictive rage. Another characteristic of both men was a conviction they they were always right, and a total inability to admit that they might ever be wrong."

"Himmlers and Stalins are, fortunately, rare; but the type is surprisingly common. The credit for recognising this goes to A.E. Van Vogt who is also the author of a number of brilliant psychological studies. Van Vogt's concept of the 'Right Man' or 'violent man' is so important to the understanding of criminality that it deserves to be considered at length..."

actually here's a better link. im away for a read
Right Man Syndrome

[kompressaur]

Thus The Right Man will often be an alcoholic or will abstain completely. He either loves someone totally or hates them emphatically; you are either completely on his side or you are against him totally, and so on. Yet oddly in spite of all the obvious behaviours to the contrary, he will often claim to not have a view on the matter at all.

I dont have the exteme love or hate for people. Im quite impartial to it. Infact i don't have a view on the matter at all.

The Right Man’s slogan here is, “A leopard never changes his spots.”

Similar to the “No shades of Grey” pattern, following a minor disagreement with a relative, one Right Man declared, “That man is never welcome in my house again. Ever!” Twenty years onward, his position still had not changed.

“That man” happened to be his brother.

that is my slogan but im well known for leaving things be and forgotten. I just like an easy life and its easier to forget. I suppose i'm sounding like i'm talking about something else here. Im not.

With The Right Man, he knows the truth - i.e. the “real” character of a person - the character that the person manages to hide from everyone else, including themselves!

One of the popular games of The Right Man is to “put people in their place” – this “place” is decided by The Right Man himself. He does this frequently should anyone attempt to “rise above their station” or to manoeuvre themselves around in the social hierarchy so well dominated by The Right Man.

I think that no one knows themselves better than themselves but i do claim to have a 'feel' for situations etc. some could well be deluded. I only attempt to put someone in their place if theyve been out of order to people. Maybe im a Right Man without the self respect. I am quite emphatic to others as long as it doesn't infringe upon me too much. Aye i suppose i'm a mixed bag of lots of things. I have to say i wouldnt like to be anyone bar me. Aye fcuk it im gonna stop reveling in problems with my physical life i'm gonna start just enjoy being mental

The pattern triggers the secondary event of “guilting.” It usually occurs as a result of Pattern #4 (“Superior Knowledge”) where The Right Man claims to be doing an action for the sake of another person. The action may be unnecessary or undesired, it may even annoy the person for whom the action is being done, but the recipient must be display an overt sign of gratitude to avoid punishment with guilt, depression, or aggression.

One example that springs to mind is of the wife who was saving to buy herself a car – she wished to gain her own means of transport and independence. The second hand car she wanted was an estate car that meant that she could take the children and friends out and about.

Just before she bought the car, she arrived home to find a brand new, small, bright green “city” car sat on the drive. Knowing of her intentions, the husband has bought it for her. It stood out, was smaller than she wanted and was more expensive than she and her husband could actually afford.

In short he bought her a bright green emotionally charged white elephant.

nah it's all crap there is no further discussion needed. I have spoken.

I blame being the best at everything when i was school personally. I was the best at football in general, got the best looking girls, i could fight and no one messed with me but i would be prone to slapping thje odd bully, i was the class clown and that went onto the workplace and grown men would claim to be 'so happy thast their on a shift with me'. I can't help it. Surely i've a right to recognise that im a bloody brilliant human being?

this looks interesting. I can't get my head around it yet to comment but seems worth understanding especially as i've been debunking God lately-

It seems paradoxical, but the more totally Right a man becomes, the more helpless he also becomes. This is because being Right means "knowing" (gnosis) and "knowing" is understanding The "Real" Universe. Since The "Real" Universe is, by definition, "objective" and "outside us" and "not our creation," we are made puny by it. We cannot act but only re-act -- as The "Real" Universe pushes us, we push back. But it is bigger, so we will lose eventually. Our only defense is in being Right and fighting as dirty as possible. ...

Edit:thats got nothing to do with god i see. It all fits in mind.
