Why did God make perfection boring, impossible, and inhuman?
I don't think I'm the one overthinking this. To put it simply, war and death is bad, an imperfect world where we all have to experience suffering and discomfort at one point or another, the opposite, peace, justice, these are perfect ideals that we strive for but can never attain wholly because they are "impossible" for us as human beings living together in a large society of Earth. God could have very easily made life perfect as it's imagined in heaven, and made that life on earth, why not do that? Why have to test people for heaven, why allow people to be evil, why give them the choice to be damned if you really love them and you created them? The whole freewill debate is flimsy to me, if you have a child and you can give if a nice life, you would do so. But instead to giving it the probable chance to screw up and experience horrible pain and anguish, there has to be something mentally wrong with you right? That would exhibit fairness, something that is absent otherwise in God's plan
Is there any correlation between intelligence and arrogance?
For those who are unintelligent, many such people may perceive knowledgeable individuals as arrogant, if not supremely so. This may be due to personal feelings of intimidation or inadequacy that are inspired by witnessing serious intelligence or true genius in action.One thing is certain. After suffering repeatedly at the hands of those unintelligent types who, out of spite or malice or sometimes just sheer discomfort, actively attempt to thwart the efforts of really intelligent people there can arise a sense of contempt—in more compassionate individuals it may manifest as a sort of pity—for such small-mindedness.Both this contempt (as in not suffering fools gladly) or pity—even just plain sympathy—nonetheless are usually enough to trigger such insecurities. Quite often, those of lesser intelligence will attempt to mask their own sense of insufficiency by labeling smart people as arrogant. This enables them to find fault with those who make them uncomfortably aware of their shortcomings. Many accusations of arrogance can stem from this defensive mechanism.Be that as it may, none of this is meant to exculpate the genuine rectal cavities who lord their knowledge over other people and use it as a way of belittling others. This behavior is unpardonable and symptomatic of serious personality deficits like lack of empathy or outright psychopathy.Such hoarding of intelligence is indicative of deep-seated insecurities regarding self-worth or other equally important self-esteem problems. Those who truly value intelligence gladly share it at almost every opportunity and do so in the sincere hope of enabling others to better understand the world around them with an increased sense of confidence and competence.
Is the passive-aggressive personality disorder heritable, developed by environmental influences, or activated by individual thought processes?
In b4 “its not in the DSM V”. Lets not be too america centric because for intents and purposes, this still exists.Like the others it will share elements of all of these causes. Trauma such as abuse that causes anger without direct possibility of responding with anger, or assertiveness being punished. Maybe non-confrontational meekness as a moral virtue drilled into them by hypocritical parents whod break the moral code and abuse them? Sustained lack of hope that causes ‘negativism’ (an old name for PAPD) i. e. A nihilistic and pessimistic misanthropy. Combined with temperament factors of genes, which never really cause ‘behaviours’ in a deterministic way but work by changing parameters and structures which can go different ways. So we dont know exactly. Geneticists wont tell you genes are deterministic though because weve studies behaviour correlations in genes and they only produce trends, dependant on surrounding society. So could genes determine that from a similar traumatic environment, something else arose, like schizotypal or dependant? Maaaybe.
