The outcome of personalization is bad and harmful in all cases, and most of the harm falls on the one who practices it, without the one who practices it realizing that it does not support his point of view as much as it condemns it, As much as the ego is inflated in personalization, objectivity is shriveled, and a dialogue of the deaf is generated between the person and the subject, between detachment in objectivity, and integration in personality, between the comprehensiveness of the objective view and the limitations of the personal view,The worst thing that personalization can develop into is the glorification of the self, the sanctification of the self’s position, and the refusal to accept self-criticism, or self-argument, or doubt in the self’s capabilities or the uniqueness of the self’s experiences, At that point, personalization turns into a psychological disorder, which can be said to be a psychological illness that requires and necessitates treatment.
When a psychological disorder develops into a disease, the phenomenon of aggression arises, accompanied by verbal violence imbued with arrogance, contempt, belittlement, defiance, and escalating boasting. This leads to the production of the charlatan personality, characterized by claiming the ability to do everything, knowing everything absolutely, and then the ability to control and manipulate reality, In addition, there is the use of the principle of displacement and projection: displacement of responsibility, and projecting failure onto the unknown or vague, unknowable, and supposedly conspiratorial other, The charlatan personality produced by personalization is averse to teamwork and prefers individual work (the inflated ego), which produces another personality: the leader personality, which develops into the superficial, weak dictator personality that creates itself based on the description and praise of the court poets. He is as they inflate him, not as he truly is.
What is the relationship between personalization and culture? Culture is cognitive awareness and a set of different behavioral patterns, and then a manifestation of the activity of the mind, The solid and capable intellectual does not personalize, because he is able to employ awareness within the circle of knowledge of society, The intellectual is capable of embodying cognitive awareness and developing it to serve the issues of society, The intellectual who possesses knowledge and holds the reins of knowledge also does not personalize, Man and society are the ones who produce culture, and they are the ones who greatly influence people’s awareness, and help people to recognize the disturbances of fundamental issues such as justice, freedom, democracy and respect for human rights, The intellectual is the producer of national culture, the culture of building and work, the culture of social justice, and then the culture of freedom and thought.
The person who is self-centered suffers from an erosion of the ability to communicate with others, He communicates only with himself, and thus loses the ability to benefit from the advice and influence of others, He lives isolated and withdrawn, and thus gradually moves away from the familiar, and turns into an abnormal state in his thoughts and practices, This leads to an escalation of his hostility and resentment towards others, and to a rise in his level of self-centeredness and a decrease in his level of objectivity and even his socialization. Then he falls into the clutches of the flawed cycle that may completely destroy him.
The question is, can personalization be completely eliminated? The answer is ambiguous! It is both yes and no, The reason for the ambiguity and difficulty is that the problem is ambiguous, It is difficult to separate the self from the event except in rare cases, The self is concerned with the matter and moves within the psychological and cultural life history of the person, which forces the answer to the question to be no, The answer is yes, it is possible if a person can start from the premise that the whole world, life, and everything on earth is subject to the judgments of viewpoints based on relativism, which equates the viewpoint of the other with the personal viewpoint in terms of value and not in terms of correspondence, Equal value eliminates the possibility of superiority and the need to serve it with contempt and boasting, and the opinion or viewpoint is subject to the judgments of the presentation and not any judgment of the assumption.
The ugliest form of personalization is found when discussing a social issue, and when the person making the personalization starts using himself as a substitute for society, thus turning society into a person with his own experience and circumstances that differ from the circumstances of society and the way of evaluating the social situation, We tell him that the average lifespan of a person in this country has decreased to 55 years, and he replies! That is wrong!! My father lived 82 years, isn’t my father a human being too!
