The worst part is the empathy in my brain still wants to react with sadness to seeing someone about to cry.

I know this man is pure evil and deserves worse than some hurt feelings. My darn brain doesn't quite get that.

    Sometimes you gotta wonder about how a man who's buried all possibility of self-reflection reacts to a day like that. Like the next morning when he's clumsily slathering on orange clown paint in front of the mirror, and he accidentally catches the reflection of his dead eyes looking back at himself, is there the faintest stirring of anything, even just a vague sensation that all of his choices have led him to become the friendless, unloved husk of a human staring down the twilight of his existence?

    Not all psychopaths are antisocial. It's in your best interest to do the right thing especially when you're lower in the hierarchy. But to be honest, it's really the inner circles of a lot of these people that are that real issue. Even Hitler had an inner circle.

    The man has all the emotional maturity of a toddler. He is only evil insofar as toddlers are evil. That is, he has persistently shown a lack of ability to accept and learn from the negative consequences of his actions.

    All he knows is to chase praise, like a toddler chasing a butterfly, unaware of all the ants he’s trampling along the way.
