Reverse Gaslighting

It occurs to me that if one is an egoist and loves and esteems oneself, one has no motive or predilection to whisper like Iago into his master’s ear to undermine his happiness, to feed his jealousy, to upend his mind, to ruin his life. If one is a rational egoist and maverizer, then one in action should be practicing in thought, word and deed, reverse gaslighting or reverse Iagosim. What this entails is that with carefully selected, kind but honest words, both whispered or openly declared, he will work to build up the self-confidence and self-worth of every adult, peer, child or pet over who he holds sway over, is able to influence, or even comes into contact with. I can think of no better or efficient means of spreading love and happiness in the world than by not seeking any longer in one’s utterances to tear down whatever modest level of self-esteem another person or creature has managed to cling to. To practice reverse gaslighting in public or in private is to live, act and speak altruistically within an egoist morality. The reverse gaslighter is determined to undermine the psychological health of no one or no creature under his sway, and nor will he allow a malicious gaslighter to attack and undermine his own mental health or sense of well-being.
