Sociopaths are evil. But evil is not typically imaginative.Joe, I have always seen you as a deep well. Someone who thinks deeply about things. But sometimes? Maybe we can overthink things. You know what? I do not care if the other guy wins. I truly do not care. I believe what will be will be and I cannot afford to not pour out my heart when I feel empathy! I can't afford to remain silent although my words may offend or change someone's mind about me. About success...... My family was quite strong, even prominent and they were quite put off by my generous nature as a child. It just was not done in my family, Joe. Yet for me? It was as natural as breathing. To be sincere was to be willing to give away what I saw someone else in need of. If I had it, I had no problem parting with it. I always got the greatest pleasure in seeing someone sad become overwhelmed with joy! I believe it cured many of my own sorrows (which were not brought on by lack of money!). It just helped me to forget about myself!
It is possible that one becomes a sociopath because they cannot grasp the concept of giving rather than taking. Greed can do many evil things to a person. It would not surprise me to learn that greed contributed to the mindset of a sociopath. Not at all.
Sociopaths can be generous... philanthropic even.
We just don't feel guilty if we have nothing left to give and a cold twelve-pack with tickets to something frivolous.
I guess my point must be that 'sociopath' and 'evil' are no more synonymous than are 'evil' and 'imagination'.

Going straight back to my point. If a person feels nothing perhaps they are beyond that point of frustration and coming to the place of I do not care (saying politely). Is that wrong? No. I believe everyone has their breaking point. What is missing? Understanding that people have their limitations! That is what is lacking. Compassion. Mercy. Love. Understanding. Forgiveness. Grace. God being there. We need to realize God is here and He alone is able. He alone is able.
Again. Sociopathy is not a character trait. If it was, the word would exist. And evil isn't imaginative, any more than you are.Sociopaths are evil.

Not all sociopaths are evil. No more so than all passions could be considered evil, even though a LOT of people die as a result of passion flare-ups.
And evil with no imagination would make a terribly boring movie, don't you think?

To not fucking up beyond redemption, no matter what the root cause of any given stupidity!
Baboons are part of the creation of God! We thank God for all his creation! ALL!
I did not read the book. But I do love you,Joe.
Ya see? I knew you were not a sociopath! And the rest, Joe? God has it under control. I'm not worried about it. I love you no matter what.I didn't either. Not really interested.
I can't honestly say that I love you Jeri... but I do care a step or two above indifference. So you're right, I'm not 'a true sociopath'. I just understand and accept both the prevalence and the value of the trait in Monkey evolution.
Hey now!
I write for entertainment purposes ONLY!
Any concepts crafted in the loads of crap that I spin in this or any other thread that hit too close to home are purely coincidental
Don't cast pearls before swine.Joe isn't going to be won. Did God split the heavens open and tell us this? If so? I did not hear from God any such thing!! If my blood could boil? It would be happening right now!!
And why is this in religion and ethics?
You should create a new forum...the sociopath's corner.And why is this in religion and ethics?
Because I couldn't think of a better place to discuss speculation about what makes Monkeys human.
