It's not a matter of being unforgiving. I think 1/2 the people in our prisons don't belong there; many are victims of society. Narcissists aren't all victims of bad childhood - some are born that way and have loving, normal parents who had raised health siblings. Some have developed that behavior out of pure self-centeredness.I've spent my whole life excusing and forgiving people who have mistreated and abused me. I have no reason to be a narcissist apologist.
You are entitled to your opinion, so I can respect what you have to say. On the other hand, maybe you had never experienced soul rape before.
