My wise friend and talented storyteller, I'm amazed by what I've been reading from yesterday! The synchronicity is simply phenomenal!!! That'as an extract from a piece I wrote last month:

"Malignant narcissists/psychopaths are characterized by their extreme callousness, cold-heartedness, and penchants for manipulation and predation. They are wholly disconnected from their conscience; consequently, remorseless for a reason:

According to research published in THE LANCET Psychiatry journal, their brains process punishment in a very different way. The researchers found out, through the fMRI, that the processing was flawed; hence the same for the capacity to be affected in decision making and behavior by punishment.

They found interneuronal communication pattern abnormalities. Result: those individuals are immune to punishment because their brains don’t process the reality of it in a standard way.

There is no evidence they were born the way they are. Given the brain is a remarkably plastic instrument, chances are high they are their household creation.

I love this assumption, to be frank. I like to believe we were all granted the same character gifts at the moment of our conception, which were altered by the irresponsible caregivers afterward.

Last but not least, this is another reason why I care so much about parenting. It is, to me, the source of all the servant leaders we admire, the imbalanced kind souls, the bad guys, and the evil ones.

In those moments, I wish I could have some formal authority to create a special bill of law. It would oblige every single adult who plans to have a baby to take a psychological/mental health test and allow or deny them access to parenthood depending on their results.

The prohibition text would be something like “You need to first work on your program” for kind souls, and “you can go and f*ck yourself” for any of the Cluster B disorders group."

I prefer your version of storytelling, though! đź‘Źđź’Žđź‘Ź
