Well gosh, it's a good thing you stated it, or none of us would ever have realized.

I was not trying to be cute. Just accurate. I don't even disclude myself from the description I offered. I genuinely believe it to be true, and requiring only a modicum of personal introspection to be able to notice. How cute is that?

I do think that there are many ways to remain entangled in cycles of narcissistic interaction, some of which can be remarkably elusive to us, both functionally and emotionally. The best any of us can do is to keep working at stepping back and getting progressively better looks at the big picture -- as it exists within the variously limited scopes of our own human perceptions. Worrying about the evolution of the language used or of the big book of insurance claim codes seems to me to be more often than not just a distraction from more important processes.
