While there’s no way to prove it, it seems that certain qualities which a person condemns are often reflective of their own faults. This seems to be true in life, and it DEFINITELY rings true in story.
In a fair amount of stories (and I believe in real-life anecdotes as well), if a person integrates their own darkness, that is when they can conquer their opposition in a comprehensive fashion, for they have already conquered their own failings, which they originally—and ironically—once condemned in their hated foes.
It’s called narcissistic personality disorder! I was literally just reading about it.

Well I’ve certainly suffered from some of it myself! 😅Nowadays I try to call myself out on things and either correct them or put controls in place so they don’t become an issue. Beating myself up over them is what I tried to do in the past, but I’ve found that to be fairly useless.

I’ve done the same. Guilt is real.

Just a LIIIITLE before I was born, but good GOD would I have loved to have been among those in the theater, cheering and clapping! I’ve heard stories about how jazzed people were to actually see it in person. 🙂

Cheering and clapping…I did that when the character Han was killed by his son. I think I almost was glare killed in my seat. (I was glad his character finally had an ending. He wanted it that way, too.)

I liked Han, but he was so irritating! The movie Solo was absolutely perfect. I’d watch that one over and over.

Hmm…not a fan of advice-giving old man Han? Or did you find him irritating in the originals too? Haven’t seen solo yet, but I’m throwing it on my queue right now. 🙂
