Underneath all the politics issues of war, of poverty of inequality there is a root it all stems from, and this is it..

People such at these described below ,really do exist all around us, they hide what they are,from us too. Some are in families,some are your neighbors,in schools,in towns, in meetings you attend, in businesses,some are your boss teacher, parent, or in the government, you may be married to one, or your child might be this way...
*******************************************************************
Imagine - if you can - not having a conscience, none at all, no feelings of guilt or remorse no matter what you do, no limiting sense of concern for the well-being of strangers, friends, or even family members. Imagine no struggles with shame, not a single one in your whole life, no matter what kind of selfish, lazy, harmful, or immoral action you had taken.

And pretend that the concept of responsibility is unknown to you, except as a burden others seem to accept without question, like gullible fools.Now add to this strange fantasy the ability to conceal from other people that your psychological makeup is radically different from theirs. Since everyone simply assumes that conscience is universal among human beings, hiding the fact that you are conscience-free is nearly effortless.You are not held back from any of your desires by guilt or shame, and you are never confronted by others for your cold-bloodedness. The ice water in your veins is so bizarre, so completely outside of their personal experience, that they seldom even guess at your condition.

In other words, you are completely free of internal restraints, and your unhampered liberty to do just as you please, with no pangs of conscience, is conveniently invisible to the world.
You can do anything at all, and still your strange advantage over the majority of people, who are kept in line by their consciences will most likely remain undiscovered.

How will you live your life?
What will you do with your huge and secret advantage, and with the corresponding handicap of other people (conscience)?
The answer will depend largely on just what your desires happen to be, because people are not all the same. Even the profoundly unscrupulous are not all the same. Some people - whether they have a conscience or not - favor the ease of inertia, while others are filled with dreams and wild ambitions. Some human beings are brilliant and talented, some are dull-witted, and most, conscience or not, are somewhere in between. There are violent people and nonviolent ones, individuals who are motivated by blood lust and those who have no such appetites. <...>

Provided you are not forcibly stopped, you can do anything at all.

*********************************************************************
This is why I am so angry at people who BELIEVE love cures all.That caring more will help,fix this. Because if it did,help as we all wished it would, for generations, things would not be as they are now.But all the love in the world cannot make a psychopath grow a conscience. Even Plato said you cannot teach virtue to those who have none..
