Psychopathy ( / 'Narcissism')

All of society can seem to have one fundamental flaw, and the possibility that this problem is really our failure to understand what we are as humans, namely a structure made up of different parts, as opposed to a collection of more or less identical specimen, is the concern of this text
                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
A most peculiar & interesting text written by: one Mr. Wholesome Seaturtle

Yes, yes, oh. I jump right in. Don't know what else I can do. I've had this thought, you see. Now and again. That concerns the topic indicated in this page's title.

I read a couple of books, as well as a few Internet-articles about this subject. Didn't quite know what to make of it. Still don't. Surely I have no doubt though that these words that I have put on top of this 'page' mean something. That they stand for something real. A real phenomenon. I read that some of the people that have opinions about these two words, feel that it isn't real what they are supposed to describe. Maybe even You, welcome Visitor to this my 'page' here on the Internet, feel that there really isn't such a thing as a person who truly doesn't have something nice and good hidden deep down underneath.

First, I hope I can simply mention that there are relevant pages out on the Internet, and literature that seems easily available for those interested in purchasing, to establish that it does infact seem to people who have worked with these topics and are perceptive and clear-thinking, that there in fact does seem to be a number of individuals amongst us humans, that upon lenghty and involved scrutiny just do not seem to have all the qualities that are automatically assumed to be part of a person, that assumption seeming to be made by people in general, if we look at what is considered 'normal behaviour', both commonly in our every-day lives, and also in writing in our laws.

So. I do actually and absolutely believe that there is a useful distinction to be made here in our society of humans, between persons who do, and persons who do not have the shortcomings described by use of the terms to be found on top of this my Web-'page'.

Okay, made it this far. Great. Good.

What is this text about then?

There does indeed seem to be a huge lot of stories of persons, normal humans - so to say, that have suffered much and in many ways at the hands of individuals that can be described as 'suffering from conditions' described by those two words on top of this here little text of mine.

What I have thought about is this, naturally - I'd say, "..what, then .. ?" What is a natural consequence of the discovery of this offending 'condition'?

I mean, it doesn't make sense to me personally at least, if every child is tested at, say, age 10, and then gets a prison-cell reserved for him / her if testing positive. That's why I've been thinking, I think. This discovery they've made, the resarchers and psychiatrists and so on, doesn't make sense just 'hanging in the air'. It has to mean something, I feel. It has to be thought about. Used. Given healthy and natural consequences. Not necessarily this month. Not even necessarily within ten years. But it is a discovery. If it can be proven to be a reality, what these researchers are talking about. Which I personally would not be surprised by if happened.

So, my thought, then
--------------------

So. This is it. The thing. That I have thought about. Every now and then. Lately. Us. The humans. We were always 'The Humans'. Right? There were the plants, and the birds, and the bees.., and the fish, and the animals. And so on and so on. And then there was 'us'. The Humans, given power to rule it all. And all that. Man and Woman. Or Woman and Man, if you like. That was it. Simple.

Then, of course, ..which leads the way a bit here, perhaps, it turned out, appearantly, that there actually wasn't simply Man and Woman. Sometimes, it seems, there was Woman and Woman. (<<..What .. ???>>) And then even Man and Man (<<.. Hmm ... ???>>). So, these days, humans isn't simply men and women. Like that. We're divided, not only into two, but even four. 'Cause some of the women are homo-sexual, appearantly. And, also, some of the men are homo-sexual, appearantly. There's a shock. And it's new. (Seem a bit new, at least..) But it's there. Absolutely. So. What then, do I think - regarding the appearant findings of these our pionéer researchers, that has anything to do with surprise other division within humanity that is homo-sexuality? Exactly, ..I suggest, as I have sort of thought, more or less, lately, that humans have a   t h i r d   division. Namely, what is by some psychiatrists and similar considered to be a 'condition', the one in my head-line, specifically.

Because. Because, I don't know, but get this: they say it can't be treated, basically. And I've even read that these people are   b o r n   this way. They seem to be all over - in that they're not only originating from within a certain radius from some radiation-polluted area or something, they seem to be born this way, and to actually   s t a y   this way. So: What happens next? Like I said, do we all just set it up for them so there is a place in jail? To me it seems stupid if that would happen. It's seems that would be a stupid solution for dealing with a reality, or what does to me seem to be a reality, of our kind. I do suggest it looks like we are like this, some of us have this 'condition' that I keep talking about here in this text. Crashing into that new - more or less - fact backwards, and just putting serial-killers away for good after they've tested positive, seems a stupid, short-time solution, and I do not feel that it is showing much respect for ourselves.

So. So. So. I am writing this tiny piece of text because it has been interesting me these last few days or so, what kind of thing could happen in the wake of this new window-opening that our researching pionéers have done for us on reality.

What's gonna happen?

Surely, if .. to put it in an un-kind way .. empty, hollow, opportunistic and senseless persons have been running free around among us, unquestioned - since there was no way of questioning their 'humanity' or 'normality', that has set society in a condition that would be hard to imagine by more whole-some persons, had they not been able to witness this all for themselves.

So, what to do, folks?

I'm interested in knowing. Like I said.

A quote I read somewhere said something about their - so to speak - kind going around wearing a bell, I think it was.

But we can't do that, can we?

It's interesting, though, I think.

'Cause, if this here subject that I am trying to put down a few words about here is reality (and I do think that it is actually, yes, like I have already made mention of..), it is actually so that - regardless of sexual orientation and gender - our human kind is split into two, in some way.

I think I have read somewhere that some people are theorising about the origins of this division. Some, it seems, think maybe that in times past, we had some of us whom were fearless warriors. Or something like that. Maybe to protect the group from attacking animals, maybe to hunt, maybe against rivaling groups. I don't know. But they say we've been on this planet for four million years, or whatever it is that they say, ..surely the need to defend the group from attacking sabre-tooth-tigers doesn't arise often any longer, anyhow, and the thing is, we strive for peace and equilibrium, not to say equality, and the concept that some of us are first and foremost warriors to defend us against lions and tigers and bears, and dinosaurs - for all I know, and not much for sitting around the fire-place sharing delicate moments, is not - perhaps - at the front of everybody's mind in our modern world, I think.

What do we do?

I think this is a great thing, this topic. Because I think it is a valid discovery that is happening at this time for us humans. And I would so love to see where it is headed.

Please, if you will, take up your pen - if you have a touch-screen anyway - and supply me with your personal and significant thought that you have after having worked your way all the way down here through my not very practiced word-smith'ery.

Right now, as I sit here and type, I don't know what I will do to try to allow feed-back, I could use e-mail, if I'm really really clever maybe I'll be able to get a fill-in-form right here on this 'page'. Most probably, though, I will get some automated feedback-service from this web-host, that will be accessible from a link.

So, please. Walk right in. Pen in hand. Sign your name. Or what-ever name you want. And suggest something. Make a guess. Help me out, so I don't have to wonder about this all alone any longer.

It's majorly weird, you know. If they're right. Those scientists, I mean.

I feel like saying somehting now, at the end of this text,

I have long felt that these among us who are the Down's Syndrome-people absolutely and without giving me any doubts what-so-ever are a valuable, or is it in-valuable, much important, and desperately needed part of humanity, of society. Because they're 'us', they're who we are, also. Humanity means a certain percentage of these people. Trying to rid our kind of these people would be - or is that 'is' ? - most utterly destructive and misguided in a sad sad way. We need them, just like I need my arm. I get that the 'we' / 'them' could sound strange, ..but I don't have Down's Syndrome, so that's how I say it..

I absolutely don't think having Down's Syndrome means being senseless and hurting people in many ways, the opposite is rather my impression. I do however mean that they are a minority - the Down's Syndrome-people - and I think there could very well be people who feel it is right to look down upon Down's Syndrome-people because they're not excellent snow-boarders or what-have-you.. I don't agree, though. So, it's said. Getting confused in my presentation here, a bit.

What I am meaning to arrive at here is that, I really don't feel it would be right to single the ones categorized by the words in my headline here out and kind of tie them to wheels so they can walk around and around all day grinding wheat or something, with the explanation that it's a most suitable role for them in our society.

I don't think it would be right and good to be unkind or mean to them, to offer them second grade every-thing and so on and so on. They are - if you'd ask me - not beneath us and below us, they're most certainly - I really do hope - different from the majority of us, but still actually to me it does seem that they are some part   o f   us. They don't look different, as do the - I think - much friendlier Down's-people, so it's not as easy to know that they are in fact in some way different, but I do think that we should know that there is an invisible percentage of us that is like this - again look at topic.. - and set them in some how-ever appropriate situation among us.

O. K.

This is how I feel. I think. How I vaguely have been thinking about this here particular topic lately.

Please join in.

I'd be glad. Very glad. Really really glad for it.

Yeah.

So.

That's me.

On the Internet.

Great.

Thanks for visiting.

And please come back, hopefully some-one new will have added their perspective on this here topic & situation.

Have a great, great day! :)

'Bye now.

Regards,

Your not necessarily local somewhat thought-ful person

Among the sources from where I have gotten my information on 'psycopathy', is the book titled 'WITHOUT CONSCIENCE', written by psychiatrist Robert D. Hare, PhD

Also, desperate people's testimonies can be found on the Internet, where merciless people's infliction of hurt is related, and can suggest there is a reality behind this page's topic

And again, you need only open the news-paper, turn on TV, or even take a closer look in your surroundings to see what I guess will be suggestions that a few people out there are not quite 'right' in the head*
________________________________________________________________________
* 'Crazy' people are not - it seems to me - the same as people without the capacity for empathy. The words 'psychopath' and 'psychotic' are sometimes confused. However, they absolutely do not mean the same, as it seems to me

P.S.
..And, you.., if you are as impressed with this text as I am, or appalled, or have any feelings about it what-so-ever, ..please link to this page all you like. But, remember.. I wrote this text, that means I own this text .. don't copy it - at least not without stating clearly where you got it, ..don't steal. Please.
