Urgency and crisis: Hurry, Crisis, life threatening, as if the building was on fire
Fear and sense of threat. Threats to house and home. Threats to health, business crisis, threats to security figures. Get things done so they can rest
Security and materialism: Finance and home, greed, competition for food/territorial, withholding and stingy. Demands a toy, but then doesn’t want it: It doesn’t relieve
Selfishness and Demanding: Temper tantrums are a typical strategy. I want what I want when I want it. Shrieking until you give in. (Cham)
They will get their way, no matter what it takes. Intense negotiators where no rules apply. They are not humiliated by making a scene (the experience of crisis trumps all other emotions)
Ruthless and ambition Do not get in my way. The situation is so urgent that the ends justify the means, no matter what. Cutting corners. Competition and ambition are high. The motivation is for relief (get out of crisis so I can rest). They can do anything to justify the ends. The love of humanity is lacking in this remedy (childish self-centeredness).
The typhoid people are often very oppressive. They are the archetypical bad guys. They’ll do whatever they want to get their way. They are high up in many situations. Cheating is not a problem for them.
Order and routine. Nux-v is fastidious. Most of the typhoid miasm remedies like things predictable, routine. They feel most secure when they are in familiar and comfortable situations. Efficiency of having everything in place. Can enjoy change but not in their situation of security.
Not the fastidiousness of Cancer, which has the aesthetics of things looking perfect. For typhoid, it’s about knowing where things are, so you don’t have to hunt around for things. Life is a crisis, and you have to find things right away
