The feeling of one’s own superiority and absolute rightness, imposed on others, is essentially pride.
From a spiritual perspective, it is the first of the sins; from a psychological perspective, it is a lack of dialog and an inability to negotiate; from a human perspective, it is an aggressive demand that another person must unquestionably comply with my expectations, or else they will be “punished,” or “I will hurt them” (morally, physically, or legally). In other words, pride inevitably contains an element of blackmail and suppression.
When there has been love (or friendship, or partnership) between people, and they must continue interacting, it becomes especially difficult if such behavior starts to appear and it is impossible to immediately leave the communication.
With strangers it is easier, because you always interact from a polite but emotionally closed state. But here you love and still trust — and then this happens…
It is clear that one must separate, clearly that one must leave. But the soul will need some time to hurt — it needs more time to fully comprehend what is happening and to convince itself that the person who once loved you is now destroying you.
You may intellectually understand the destructive nature of the actions of someone you once loved, but you cannot explain this to your soul right away. For the soul to be fully convinced, it often has to remain open until the moment when the beloved but “prideful” person, through their words, actions, and behavior, finally kills the love for them in the other person’s heart…
Most of what is described above happens beyond the level of conscious awareness, on an energetic level.
It becomes fully recognized and verbalized only when there is a well-developed connection between the emotional (intuitive) and conscious (intellectual) parts of a person’s personality.
