Do you feel you have the right to do whatever feels good as long as it makes you happy?
Ah the proverbial masks we wear to fit in. Sometimes I do wonder though if its the mask or has that individual adapted so well to that particular role that they can no longer differentiate themselves from their persona?
Lol, not going to get political here. I think we have enough of that on the news to keep us tied over for ages. I feel what you're saying though...
Well, it's not that 'it's not allowed' as much as there is a law in place that
serves as a deterrent. Every action has a consequence. You could go outside
and harm someone right now if you wanted to. Of course there will be
a consequence for it as well. You could drive around in your car and
not wear a seat belt or use a headset when you talk on your phone
if you choose to do so.
This isn't to encourage bad behavior its just to point out that you
can if you want to do so. Doesn't mean you will walk away from
your decision without experiencing some sort of consequence for
that said action. Some people feel that the risk is worth the reward.
There are also those of us that suffer, from extremely poor judgement
as well. If you don't get help for this you go through life like that and
end up placing a burden on yourself and others around you.
I am no sociopath, so I'll say no. I feel I can do what I want so long as it makes me happy and doesn't hurt other people. Making loud noise is extremely harmful to the peace and the health of other people, so anyone who does that, especially at night, is a jerk.
The same goes for all the other annoying things that people so often do to each other and that make this world such a hard place to live in.
Well, I don't think I'm qualified to place a label on somone
but I do feel that they probably have a much different moral
compass than you or myself. Some people feel the ends justify
the means, and if that means you get what you want in the
end then they are okay with that. I certainly does make
coexisting with such an individual unpleasant if you don't
share the same views...
Sociopaths don't have a moral compass at all, that's what makes them sociopaths. They don't think the end justifies the means; they just only feel themselves. Being a sociopath means having no empathy and no social conscience. They can only feel themselves. If they do something that harms other people, they have no idea about that at all. When you see someone like that kick and beat a poor dog or homeless old woman or an other victim, and you would ask them why he does that, he probably would be unable to answer you. Or maybe the only thing he would be able to answer would be: "because I like it", or something.
A sociopath is a step in the direction of a psychopath. So it's not at all about views or thoughts, it's rather about the lack of it.
I'll just repeat what I said earlier just encase it was missed.
I do not feel I am qualified to place a label on someone,
because I don't have a professional degree or background
in psychology. I do believe that everyone has a moral
compass, but there are those that will choose to
ignore it. You can't assume that they don't know
right from wrong. Its possible that they just don't care...
I don't believe that necessarily makes you a sociopath.
That is all I'm going to say on this matter. Its my opinion
and its a discussion not a debate. Thanks for sharing yours
as well.
It does kind of feel like that sometimes doesn't it? I still think there are
good people out there, its just you run into so many of the other type
that it sort of puts you on defense and keeps you from venturing out.
Stay positive and seek out positivity and you will find what suits your
needs.
Well, very black and white, but more or less it
makes things, morally, less complicated than
they need to be. Right and wrong becomes a
very complicated issue when we all have a
moral compass that leads us in different
directions. That is why values are important
to help reign us in otherwise we go so far
out there that our humanity becomes
questionable at best.
I think being moral is pretty easy when you base morals on love.
Some people love to hate on others. But I get what you're saying XD
If you have love in your heart its a lot easier to be considerate towards
others.
The best revenge is to live your life well. Be all that you can
be. That will make anyone one with a hateful heart cringe
in agony at the site of their victim living their life to the
fullest. Forgive them so that you can make space for
better things in your life. They won't even matter
to you in a few years and most will have moved
on to a new target because that kind of person
thrives on suffering and pain to validate them
selves. If you hold on to the memories and
allow them to hold you back, they've basically
scored a victory over you.
I don't honestly think you can erase what's happened. That is a heavy scar and only time and the proper help can mend such a wound. I'm sorry for your loss and do hope that at least you can find a way to honor your classmate's memory in a way that will bring you peace. I do believe the bullies will get what's coming to them if they were directly responsible for what's happened to your friend.
I'm slowly accepting it and yeah I need time to heal. It's just a bit hard because it could have been me or my sister.
From what I heard the ringleader of the bullies got expelled and cannot apply to any school or get a job because it's on their record and so their future is pretty much dead. But the others got let off because they claimed the ringleader forced them to play the prank and go too far. They got expelled but as far as I know they don't have a criminal record like the ringleader because they agreed to give a witness statement or something. It was years ago so I don't know what became of them.
