re: Is Kathy Griffin showing signs of mental instability?

I think humility is one of the highest virtues. I think extreme humility is the path to personal growth and enlightenment. I can look back at my life and trace almost every misfortune to either my ego or how I dealt with the egos of others.

What I saw here, was a level of personal unhappiness and unenlightened narcissism that exceeds just a person struggling, that it reaches a pathological level. If you are familiar with the concept of the wise "old soul" think of the "Infantile soul" and you would have Kathy Griffin. There are a lot of true sociopaths and truly toxic people in this category. Avoid these people, they have almost nothing of value to ever teach you. You can not be equally yoked to these people. You have likely surpassed them by the time you reach early adolescence.
