Human interactions and relationships are complex and often involve intricate psychological dynamics. One such dynamic is the Victim-Rescuer-Persecutor (VRP) psychology triangle, a concept popularized by the Karpman Drama Triangle. This model, developed by psychiatrist Stephen Karpman in the 1960s, helps explain how people can adopt different roles in interpersonal conflicts and how these roles are interconnected.

The Psychology of Psychopaths
Psychopaths are described as human predators who manipulate, lie, and harm others without remorse. Experts like Robert Hare estimate that psychopaths make up a small percentage of the population, but they are disproportionately found in corporate and political spheres. The absence of conscience and empathy in psychopaths is highlighted as a key feature, leading them to exploit others for personal gain. Despite some high-profile psychopathic criminals, most psychopaths engage in more covert harmful behaviors, such as family abuse, manipulation, and deceit.

UNDERSTAND OR CONDEMN
The old story of "give mercy, not execute", was an example of our generation's learning of Estonian grammar, how the choice of the place of the comma can completely change the meaning of the sentence, but since the landlord did not have a good relationship with commas, the comma was placed in the second place instead. "Not to pardon, but to execute" and only because of the comma, the one who actually wanted to be pardoned lost his life.

The psychology of narcissism
The psychology of narcissism Long before the advent of the selfie, the ancient Greeks and Romans recounted a myth concerning an individual excessively preoccupied with his own image. According to one version of the tale, Narcissus, a handsome man, roamed the world in search of love. After spurning the advances of a nymph named Echo, he caught sight of his own reflection in a river and became enamored with it. Unable to tear himself away, Narcissus ultimately met his demise by drowning. A flower, known as the Narcissus, now marks the location of his death. The myth encapsulates the fundamental concept of narcissism, which denotes an elevated and sometimes harmful degree of self-involvement. However, narcissism is not merely a personality type that appears in advice columns; it is a set of traits that psychologists have classified and studied. Specifically, the psychological definition of narcissism refers to an inflated, grandiose self-image.
