To kill an animal and to keep its head mounted on display is usually a monument to the ego of the hunter and a disrespect to the animal killed. An animal will give its life for humans to survive, to eat and to keep warm from. We honour and respect the animal for this and we make its energy a part of us forever. In this way its energy lives on. To kill an animal for display is not about honouring the animal, but honouring the hunter. This is selfish.
To take from other people in order to show how powerful you are is also selfish and disrespects the other person's value. This includes in relationships, where one person wants to control the other. This is selfish behaviour and is only about honouring the person doing the controlling.
Where selfish behaviour occurs between two humans, there is no growth for either person. The one being selfish chooses this as an outcome, the victim does not, unless they allow it to continue.
