i'll have to check that book out, as i do love to read. ohhh i almost went into the forensic psych, but changed into another direction. how the mind of sociopaths, psychopath, serial killers, etc... works totally amazes me. the problem with sociopaths is unfortunately there is no cure. in order to be cured, you have to acknowledge a problem and in their minds there is no problem. yes, you're right, they can not feel real feelings and are incapable of doing so. they are masters at being able to make one think they feel these certain feelings of emotions but truthfully they lack empathy, sympathy, love, etc... they just go with the flow as long as they are getting their immediate self gratification and living in the moment without thinking of consequences. i could go on and on with that subject.

balance... some people are able to step back and find that peaceful balance they need. some are not.

everyone lets their demons so to speak leak out in different ways, some lash out on others, some hold it in and abuse themselves, some take it out sexually, etc... everyone has a dark side, everyone releases it in some form or fashion... just not everyone can recognize it. im curious as to who can, what brings it out and why, how do they deal with it?

like i said i did this thread years ago and wow the response was huge.

yes, my humor is a bit twisted lol
