You always seem to be spot on. Maybe said person, needs to look at themself and face a couple truths. People lash out when they don't like what they hear.

Disclaimer: This is only a theory I am refining to fit some ideas I have about the demons that have lived inside us for so long, and how they manifest themselves during MLC or WAS syndrome. I believe that they are a reflection of our true personality, not some 'magical alien' that came out of nowhere. Some are extreme manifestations of a 'who we WISH we were'. Others may very well be part of us having a mental breakdown.
They aren't a REQUIREMENT of our present or future personality. Just the result of baggage and unfinished business from the past. The WAS / MLC'er were always 'capable' of becoming these people, some not as extreme as others. We may even be able to look back at the past and see the 'personality indicators' that were clues that this was inside them.
THIS IS JUST A THEORY. I am not saying this is true or false in all cases, however it seems to fit many cases.
Please continue to give feedback in this interesting and ongoing debate!
We now return you to our regularly scheduled rant...
That's saying way to much....... Can I write your disclaimer.
I don't care what you think, as long as it's about me.
The Four Agreements is a really interesting book to read. I thought I'd post them here so that they might have some value to others.
The Four Agreements:
Be Impeccable With Your Word.
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
Don’t Take Anything Personally.
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.
Don’t Make Assumptions.
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
Always Do Your Best.
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.
Thank you for posting this. The "Always Do Your Best" one resonates with me today. I was feeling so bad that I am not very productive at work now. I have to cut myself some slack. I really am emotionally sick right now so my best cannot be what it used to be. I actually told my boss earlier today "Pretend I got hit on the head and lost my short term memory, that is how I am operating these days." He laughed but it is somewhat true.

You know, I wonder if it would be interesting to have a conference call where we can all call a secured conference number anonymously and chat about these concepts. If anyone would be interested, I can set it up. It might be fun.
What do you think? Hey AmyC would you call in too? I can set up an 800 number.
