What name do we give to an action by another person that hurts is badly and yet they have not broken the law?Like they ring up and say we should have put a comment on their blog when they know we’ve been very busy at work… then we have not visited their FB page this week… or some other complaint.There is a disparity sometimes between how we are and how others see us.We may be depressed and hardly able to function,they are cross we didn’t phone them for a chat [ie they moan for 36 minutes whilst we listen..
Maybe it is a sin.Nowadays we don’t use that word.But if we do not use our imagination to understand another person’s life and trials then we are lacking in some way if this happens a lot.
In psychoanalysis it seems that people do such things because of an identification with an archaic mother image or because they were punished for wetting the bed… there is no personal responsibility..
Some of us go the other way and are over-responsible even in some cases people think they have caused the Gaza conflict or another war when they are actually mentally unwell.They are tormented.
We need to be in the middle… as usua;
