In its literal meaning being an orphan is a very sad thing. Orphan as we know it is when a child lost both parents because of natural or accidental death. The child is left with no one to take care of him or her.

Victim
Innocent as a Victim
Today, I have a few hours to spend in front of a television set. I randomly switch channels through the cable news while I was watching several cable personalities; I realized some of their behaviors. They talk over each other, they shout to drown one another. It did not make any sense to me. First, it looks like it is a competition between who the loud talker is. Second, they speak with no responsibility of facts or what they say do not have any informational value to listeners. However, the more they shout with no foundation the more they attract viewers to watch their show bringing more money to their owners.
I asked myself why these types of shows are successful. The correct answer might be lack of critical thinking. On the other hand, there is a possibility that at any given time, it is possible substantial number of people that did not get out of the innocent developmental stage. On the other hand, they enjoy negative outcomes because of loss of faith and hopelessness. The solution for most people who are lost and stay lost in the innocent developmental stage is to find groups or people with similar interest. The interest is usually surrounded by emotional and destructive behavior. There is no surprise why these kinds of shows are successful.

Losing Faith
Losing faith is not very easy for a person. Such loss includes losing friends, loved ones or anything that was parts a person’s life. Hopelessness, guilt, emotional instability and discomfort are some of the symptoms that may occur in a person when she/he is lost. It is natural on the other hand the person may try either hide his/her problem or deny that the loss exists at all.
I was with a group of people the other day and noticed a long silence with one of my friends regarding discussion on what we did over the weekend. I asked myself that, could this be related to one of the archetypes? Perhaps it is the Innocent archetype. I could be wrong or it is possible that his silence could be tied to one of the archetypes. I continued to think that it could be one of the above reasons that may have happened to him. A fight within his family member may have resulted in sadness, or worry affecting his personality. I wanted to ask him if there was anything wrong. I would like to know exactly what changed his mood. However, I decided that it would be too selfish of me probing into his personal business. I know he would have talked about it if he wanted to discuss it.
