Modus Operandi of Psychopaths and Sociopaths

Modus Operandi of psychopaths and sociopaths They are all around us, seeking to destroy us, if not to kill us, to maim us, for life physically, mentally, emotionally morally, financially. They are the psychopaths and sociopaths! Now psychopaths are rare indeed, as they are human but do not possess human qualities such as compassion, empathy, humility, or have a faculty of conscience. Psychopaths are those who make the news as genocidal leaders, serial killers, mass murderers, and so on. Sociopaths are more common, actually they are all around us, in our workplaces, online, in our social groups, they are usually the high achievers, CEO's, upper management leaders in every way. Now I'm not saying all leaders, CEO's etc are sociopaths, just that sociopaths seem to flourish among their peers. Although really they don't feel that they have any...peers that is. Much like psychopaths, sociopaths have a very high ego, and IQ , but they do not reveal it easily, often they use false humility, flattery and slander to lull their so called peers into submission. To achieve their goals as status seekers, they will say or do almost anything, as their own ego propels them in their silent aggression. Predators in general, in the animal world, exist in two, really three forms. 1. The predator that is fierce and strong, and has no fear of anything else, even if it's prey is obviously bigger and stronger, it rises to the challenge, usually bringing along back up support, or his posse, or gang member, eg Lions, or wolves working in packs or teams against Wildebeest, Moose, Elephants etc. 2. The predator that kills a weaker prey by aggression, and subtle tactics, overpowering that one. The predator usually picks the weaker ones, the slower ones, as they really don't want to work that hard. 3. The carrion eaters, these really are the lazy ones, they wait for someone else to do the hard work, the kill, then they try to take advantage by arriving in packs to get their share. Humans can be similar in a way, as they can be very animalistic in their behaviours as is evidenced by the cowardly attacks seen recently in France, Belgium, and now in Orlando. The modus Operandi of both Psychopaths and Sociopaths is manipulation and control, fraud, lying, slander. Manipulation of unsuspecting people and circumstances, to gain the trust of their prey, until they get what they want from the prey, then they are discarded like used toilet paper. Fraud is seen by master manipulators, con men, who steal by fraudulent means from unsuspecting victims, their life savings. They are predators also, they may not kill, but they do take away a life, of security and hope. Lying and slander are employed by the sociopath to achieve his/her goals. Anyone who is wise to them, and their evil schemes, gets destroyed by lies and slander. This is as old as the devil using the serpent in the Garden of Eden. And really how fitting is that, as we have seen on the news lately, how boa constrictors have killed their owners, as they have gained their trust over the years, and then one day, instead of playing, they kill by suffocating their unsuspecting prey/owner/friend. What is the solution? For now, we must be ever vigilant, not to the point of paranoia, but be observant about suspicious behaviour. Evil now potentially lurks, in our backyards, in our homes, at school, at work, online, everywhere. Everywhere we go we could be a potential victim. Sometimes evil things happen to good people who are in the wrong place at the wrong time. God sees everything, and he can undo, all the damage done by evil persons. The war between good and evil, has been raging for thousands of years as the offspring of the Devil, and the offspring of God, battle it out to the end. The ruler of this world is a Diabolical Spirit who promotes his evil agenda, and facilitates his evil plan, manipulating all levels of society today, like a puppeteer manipulates his puppet. Sometimes even makes his puppet talk(serpent in garden of Eden). The thing, is the world is under the control of this diabolical organized crime boss. He has his system designed to look good but they are just false fronts, like a legitimate business, laundering the money from ilicit drugs etc. That is why there is so much hypocrisy in organized religion, corruption in politics, and governments, and also in business, and society in general. That is why the world is slowly sinking into moral degradation, and debauchery, that has not been seen for centuries. That Sinister Spirit is now controlling the minds of the impressionable youth, inducing them to commit atrocities against humanity. What other explanation makes sense? The good news is, Good(God) wins over evil(Devil) notice how the words fit together? All we must do, is imitate the personality of God in our daily life, thus identifying ourselves as his children, and doing his will not our own. Then we put ourselves in line to be eyewitnesses of the end of evil for all time! Psalm37:10,11 John Derek Hamilton June 14,2016

Thanks Becca, it's good to be aware especially of the sociopaths as they are very astute, can appear as a friend, but when they get what they want from us they are gone. Everyone knows someone like this, tells you how common it is.

Good has always won over evil, that's for sure:) "All we must do, is imitate the personality of God in our daily life, thus identifying ourselves as his children, and doing his will not our own." - great truth:)

Thanks Kim, I just hate to see God blamed for the atrocities that happen, people need to know that he is not responsible for evil although he allows it to continue for now! Thanks again for your visit! JDH

Hi John, another perceptive view of the evil in the world although I must say that I think I see more goodness (not godliness) in the world than you do. It is always good to see your work Terry Clothier
