Dear Axa:
Bad things happen to good people, all the time. It is most unfair. Life is unfair. Good people have dreadful illnesses visited on them, good people get mugged and murdered, good people have their children fall ill and die, and there is a lot of insanity out there.
I don't think there is a denial out there. As for evil, well that is a complex topic. I do not think that insanity and evil are synonymous.
The human mind has many defence mechanisms, and it is only human to want to block out "bad" memories and concentrate on what is perceived as the good. It is important to see things as they are.
It is futile to try to explain NPD, and the behaviour generated by this disorder to "others". If, many years ago, someone had tried to talk to me about NPD, and that kind of insanity, I just do not know either if I would have been terribly interested. That is how it is. People in general eschew the idea of insanity, they do not want to think about it.
All the best
Hermes
