Beyond the limit

tempting is
the border area
hanging around
in the gray zone
watching the game
of back and forth
seeing how vanity
and power
push them
far
beyond the limit

Image
The 1940 Magritte original measures 54 by 65 cm and is cataloged in his oeuvre catalog.

Torture : holes in my lover drape / energy weapon (photo Jan Theuninck, 2023)

The most toxic and hateful people in the world are 100% convinced they fight for what is true and right. For colleagues looking for more theoretical explanation, the psychological processes are splitting, projection & project the badness onto some designated other. And this other person, via the defense of projection, is now seen as the repository of all that is bad and evil and necessary to destroy. That's the projection. The person now feels fully justified in unleashing their viciousness and hate on the other person, who is now seen (via projection) as someone monstrous who must be destroyed.
