Megalomaniacs

The world they try to shrink to their

Own size 


For


Great they wish to appear, before their

Dazzled eyes!

This amuses and makes me sad at the same time. Theirs is a world limited to self and somehow they are endlessly fascinated by that limited perspective.

You are absolutely right, Richard. They try to trick themselves into believing they are above all and everything! May God help them see the light!

That is one trait in a person, that if I see, I try to steer clear. It is a shame they carry themselves this way.

Thank you, Anne-Lise. Evil, sometimes comes with the broadest of smiles and with open arms but .... we all know what happens next! Our only shield is love!
