Coping with the Dark Side...
|
Coping with the Dark Side... Everyone has a "Dark Side". Most of us "normal people" are able to contain our dark sides; being more 'good' than we are 'bad'. Then there is another group of people who are generally more bad than good, yet not totally evil either. Those are the people we talk about as, "He's a real such and such, but he does have a good side to him." These types can still be salvaged, or at least contained. Then there is the true psychopath; a heartless, soulless, shameless devil who will smile in your face, charm you and flatter you as he (or she) sticks the knife in your back. He is often charismatic, likable and energetic. He lies effortlessly. He will draw anyone into his orbit that can serve to further his ambitions, or fuel his ego with "narcissistic supply". He manipulates. He cheats. He sucks the lifeblood out of you and then, when you are no longer of any value to him, he will discard you like a used up lemon. Does any of this sound familiar? Look around you. There may be psychopaths hidden among the Affairlook membership. To achieve his nefarious ends, the narcissistic psychopath will play every emotional card in his manipulative arsenal; alternating between outbursts of anger and verbal abuse, empty flattery, fake sympathy for others, false pity for himself, fake smiling or laughing, fake crying, fake humility, false charity and fake piety. In his excellent piece, Why Elites And Psychopaths Are Useless To Society, Brandon Smith explains: "The problem is humanity is not only hardwired with a dark side; we are also hardwired with a conscience — at least, most of us are. All people are born with a shared moral compass that is often expressed in various religious works throughout the ages. It is a universal voice, or guide, that we can choose to listen to or to ignore. Organized psychopaths have struggled with the existence of this inborn compass for centuries." When these self-centered lunatics are confined to ordinary jobs and professions, they may cause great harm to their employers and immediate contacts, but society at large remains relatively unaffected. The problem is that psychos, particularly the semi-intelligent ones, will instinctively gravitate towards positions of power, and then use their cunning psycho "skills" to advance above the good guys. Politicians are the consummate psychopaths. Okay, these quotes don't really fit here but I like them. So here they are. "There's lies, damned lies and statistics." ---Mark Twain "Nothing needs prohibition more than somebody else's habits." - Mark Twain "If voting made any difference, they wouldn't let us do it."--- Mark Twain "Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything." -Joseph Stalin Hillary beat Bernie with a coin toss in Iowa, SIX times. Order of operations to determining Iowa winners: 1. Tallied votes 2. Coin toss 3. Rock paper scissors 4. Staring contest To illuminate the ways of psychopaths, I've included these pictures of possible psychopaths. One has different color eyes like David Bowie had. If it doesn't pop up, I will keep trying to get it in somehow. (Does that sound sexual to anyone?)       |
