174. Megalomania

Megalomania as a common word, about people who have started to think, that they are above others in different ways; was a common word to use in that way in the sixties and seventies. This was an understanding about this in a historical perspective, with relevance for possibly some of today’s people. The understanding about how dangerous that kind of megalomania can be, has disappeared in an imperceptible way. I write this text to bring this understanding back again.

I think the criminals can be megalomaniac people in the way I have written about here. This definition isn’t the medical definition. This definition is a popular definition about people with an excessive belief in one’s own importance.
