So what is at the root of President Obama’s desire to uphold such an unjust law and to continue to find ways to alienate and attack strong-believing\u00a0Christians and people\u00a0of\u00a0many other\u00a0faith backgrounds? Well Stephen Covey in his book\u00a0“The\u00a07 Habits of Highly Effective\u00a0People” notes in habit #5 “Seek First to Understand, Then be Understood.” This is actually a hallmark of empathy, putting yourself in the other person’s shoes and seeing things from their perspective, especially the most defenseless of individuals.\u00a0A person who struggles with\u00a0a lack of empathy\u00a0is someone who typically struggles with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (i.e. an extreme form of selfishness). We are\u00a0called to graduate from the school of “selfishness” about the time in our lives when an adult such as a parent\u00a0tells us\u00a0to think about others and be concerned about their frailties and even help them. Obama did not receive this type of formation while growing up because it is clear that his lack of regard for human life at all stages is callous. In fact one could use the\u00a0phrase “breathtaking callousness” to define the person of the president. He is not a man interested in the\u00a0virtue of the greatest good for another human being and would rather take away freedom than be challenged (or try to\u00a0even learn something new). In short, he is not at the moment\u00a0teachable and thus there is no humility about this man.
