By the way, I think we should clarify what a sociopath is. A sociopath is someone with a personality disorder which makes them incapable of feeling empathy, love and pretty much anything emotionally deep. Their brain only feel the need to satisfy the most primitive natural urges, like getting laid or owning something and doing whatever they want with it (even if it is a person, this is usually the case in their relationships). They also feel no remorse for whatever reason, which doesn't mean they do not regret decisions, they just regret the results were not to they liking or they changed their mind in their constant effort to please themselves all the time.

Kinda common sense up to here, right? But here is the thing most people don't realize. '''They are born this way. '''They never, in any point of their lives, ever knew what feeling empathy, true love or remorse was like. The idea of a sociopath trying to be a better person is absurd, because they think there is nothing wrong with them. It's a disorder of the brain, it would be like a person lying in bed pondering suicide because of a crippling depression simply waking up one morning thinking "You know what, I think I should get out of this bed and be happy instead of die, yeah that sounds a good idea and makes sense.". I would agree with this guy, however his malfunctioning neurotrasmitters are not amused by those arguments and will keep him there if he doesn't get proper treatment.

I agree with your clarification of what a Sociopath is, except I think sociopaths may be able to feel love and other emotions. I believe the defining factors of what makes one a sociopath is; doing things that they Know are wrong, but don't care. Being pathological liars. Being narcissistic and manipulative.

Anyone good post. Well done!
