Narcissism of small difference
The narcissism of small difference is a Freudian term to the effect everyone is separated from others by a 'taboo of personal isolation', a narcisissm of minor difference.
Glen Gabbard suggests in a loving relationship there is a need to find, even exaggerate differences for our own self and separateness.
Post modernity perceives a superficial sense of uniqueness, an otherness masked for an underlying sameness or uniformity.
Although used interchangeably fate and destiny have difference. Broadly speaking fate is destiny. Fate seen as the power or agency that predetermines and orders the course of events. Fate defines events ordered inevitable. Fate regards the finality of events, as they have worked themselves out. Destiny is projected into the future to become events worked out. Fate relates to past events, proven true and unalterable, destiny relates to the probable, to almost certain future.
One meaning fate is finality, death. Fate determined by an outside force, destiny has participation in an acheived outcome. Said in a past tense, fate and destiny mean a 'lot in life' or fortune, including the sum of events leading to the outcome.
