Narcissism... pride... sin... it's all the same. Modern psychology has preferred to repackage and relabel the "sin" [1] that was identified thousands of years ago. But while they were busy editing out the big "G" and everything He had to say about fixing it, they ironically edited out the only Answer that can truly lead a man away from his obsession over his own reflection. Then again, imagine what would that do to the market for self-help books.

[1] Galatians 5:19-21 - "The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."

I don't know about that. The Old Testament has things like if kids make fun of a bald headed man, he can, out of narcissism, get god to send bears to murder them for the insult to his appearance.

> 2 Kings 2:23-24 - 23 Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!” 24 When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number.

he can, out of narcissism

Eh, I'm failing to see the narcissism. 42+ young men intentionally leave their homes to gang up and harass an old guy. Old guy calls on his Heavenly Referee to handle justice as He sees fit.

More like Heavenly serial killer if it is just over some insults.
