What triggers, within an individual who wishes for the demise or dismissal of another? Throughout the history of humankind, certain characteristics in the personality of ACTOP portend the likelihood that he or she will be of that ilk. Who would want to watch, with glee, someone else, not succeed? What lies in the heart of any of mankind, to wish a bad outcome?
Jealousy, envy, fear and the ever-present hypocrisy most often top the list of personality traits one can subscribe to ACTOP as he or she is likely to exhibit any or all of these traits at some point and time in the subtle divulgence of his or her disposition and development for desiring cursed outcome toward happenstance of another.
Jealousy; the cornerstone of the make-up of ACTOP who views the success of another through a fracturing emotional prism, is seeing the ‘Successful’s’ ill-perceived luck, advantage or heredity as the foundation of that success. It often masks the reality of ACTOP’s sub-conscious awareness; a recognition on an intellectual level that unfavorably evaluates ACTOP’s preparation and effort! He or she didn’t capitalize on an opportunity to strike while the iron was hot and it is known. The unspoken but internally acknowledged fact that the success of the person is simply that there is someone who is better-suited or more qualified than you.
Envy, the emotion masked by the wry smile, manifesting itself only in the company of ACTOP who shares the emotion; all with the same deep-seated anxiety that festers just below the surface of that smile. It says so much while uttering no sound! “I wish I could do that. I wish I could do what he does, have what she has; be who they are! Alas, I don’t have the skill, the know-how or the daring and I envy the possession of those skills. How does one gain them?”
Fear, while often found to be the trait best hidden in ACTOP, eventually, will rear its ugly head once it becomes identified as the result of that sad failing; the principal factor to ACTOP’s inability to succeed and achieve to a higher capacity!
Then hypocrisy, finally; the finality of the mindset of ACTOP who says, out loud, to anyone who will listen, “I really don’t care!”
A certain type of person fits the detailed profile, presented, and several of them are vying for political office on city, state and federal levels in the upcoming months and years. There may not be a profile of the ideal candidate for any and all positions of power, forthcoming, nationwide but I know we have to, first, get gone with the individuals that fit this one…and there are a few!
