Vivid personality syndrome
March 23, 2022
When one embellishes ones reputation, beware of suffering from ‘vivid personality syndrome.‘ It’s not in medical or psychological resources. However, we all know what it looks like. Exaggerating experiences and achievements comes naturally. Our ordinary look is too mundane. We touch it up to be vivid, memorable, popular, better liked, or better paid.
Scripture says be humble. Humility does NOT come naturally. To honor another person, to let someone else praise us, requires being willing to occupy the back seat, out of the lime light.
In Scripture, the Pharisees and other religious leaders illustrated ‘vivid personality syndrome. Jesus stated. Matt: 23: 25 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
Vivid personality syndrome is human nature.
