Do think that psychopaths, sociopaths, serial killers, those sorts of people, are evil?
No not at all… I do not believe in ‘evil’. I don’t believe in evil things, much less evil people. The word is so loaded and makes so many assumptions. I think some are mentally ill, some are scarred and troubled, some have been failed by society and some, perhaps, are beyond help. They are not evil.
I grew up in a house with 2 sociopathic women (diagnosed). Someone who has had no personel contact with such people will never grasp the evil that they do. They are born and the old connard that abuse is the cause could not be more wrong. They aren’t the victum of abuse, they inflict it on others. I know, I was the other. Experience is a terrible teacher. I was the one severely abused by them and I chose to never be that way. If one uses that old abuse cr@p, I could literally get away with murder. Instead, I spent 5 years in intensive psychotherapy trying to undo the damage these women did to me. “The greatest ally of evil is an average persons inability to accept it’s existence”! There are no words to explain what it is like to live under those conditions. People refuse to admit that there are truely evil people because they just can’t believe that there are people out there like that. I am here to tell you. They are out there and some of us have had the misfortune to be born into tho
It’s easy to say that they are “evil” but a great majority of them have a long history of abuse, neglect, sexual abuse, etc. Not everyone is given a fair chance at life so with that said, I don’t think it’s fair to judge and/or compare them with any person who has had a good upbringing. And even if a person had a bad upbringing and turned out “good” we have to recognize the fact that we all are wired differently. Some of us can overcome great obstacles while others cannot.
