a picture is a moment frozen in time for a person to enjoy and remember whenever they want. The look, the motion, the emotion only happen for an instant.Although someone might carry in their heart, with time teh emmory fades. If a photo is taken a child is able to see the happiness of their parents on wedding day, parents can see how small their child was when they brought him home for the first time and all the years after they grew to adulthood. All the birthdays, first days of school, vacations can be capured and with you always,
- Photos are meant to be shared and seen

The narcissist's reaction to a bad run of luck is to walk outside, look at his name on the building, and, taking what little cash is left, head for Vegas (or its stock market equivalent). There, against known odds, narcissists expect to recoup their losses. They are usually alone in such ventures, because it's long after all the rational people who originally believed in the narcissist and his or her ideas are gone. Those followers who stay are the people who die poor and bewildered, their lives in ruins, and often in jail or disgraced. They are all those who "went along" with what they knew was wrongful behavior. (I still cannot believe that the fifteen hundred people who at last count worked for Jimmie Swaggart were all suck-ups in it for the bucks. There must have been at least a few people who finally saw him for what he is, in their lexicon, the ‘Antichrist’.)
According to Christopher Lasch, today’s narcissists are the children of middle class parents who were radically estranged from normal parental feelings and actions by the intrusive influence of child psychologists, social workers, educational specialists, and so on. All of whom knew more than mom or dad about bringing up kids.
Most parents in the first half of this twentieth century were conned into being afraid to punish their young, worried that they would inflict Permanent damage on their issues’ psyche. As a result we are a nation of grown up brats, who have the weird idea, that even if they poop in their own pants, they don’t smell it or if they do, they think it’s the other guy.
Such people really have no "self", though they are regularly described as being self involved. The self that they are involved with is a narcissistic self, a self of all rewards and no punishments. This surrogate self has been created for them by thin-lipped preachers and other outsiders to the family experience, by television advertising executives, by legions of social workers, by rank of non-loving, money-hungry, discriminating teachers, and all taught by the institutionalized professionals of the progressive school. They were taught that any punishment, no matter how richly deserved, would not be understood by the child, would inflict permanent irreversible trauma on the child's persona for which the parent and community would eventually pay. The self-involved TE's of today were thus incubated by the millions.
People with such synthetic personas can rise high in our modern society, because it admires the illusion of self confidence above the reality of performance. In an image conscious world,we elect intellectual vacua to high office, whose rote recitation of the epic past allows them to escape involvement in an urgent present. These are the people who loved to watch the $64,000 questions on T.V because they believed that the recall and repetition of disassociated facts was excellence in action. (Some of them are still around, watching Jeopardy.) In this unnatural world, where learned or imitative behavior is everything, there is no more room for "natural" behavior. The worst crooks in the nation – Milken of UC Berkeley-Wharton, Levine of CCNY-Baruch, Marty Siegle of Columbia-Harvard Business School – were all products of our Graduates Schools of Business, where imitative, imagistic teaching – rather than their own experience as modified by the ages-old parenting relationship most of them never knew – governs their behavior. Most likely, the first punishment most ever received was by the State. In the unreal world of the narcissist, meeting one's own self-set objectives is self-reinforcing, and not meeting them is destructive. I've hired a few young men whose sole intellectual qualification, as it turned out, was, "I want to be a millionaire by the time that I'm thirty." For the narcissist, and sometimes for me, that was enough, if it was backed up by a top scholastic record. Most had no concrete idea how this millionaire-by-thirty goal was to be achieved. Since I was in the deals business, they believed I could show them how to do it, and along the way they'd allow me to make a profit too, which was very generous of them.
