They have an amazing ability to read people %26 therefore sense what people need - they are natural leaders %26 have the ability to do great things %26 make positive things happen because people listen to them. Do we only HEAR about the stories of sociopaths that have done terrible things, or do they really usually tend to use their gift for wrong? If so, why?
Answer:
Sociopaths, by definition, lack a conscience. Therefore, the things they do are generally about personal gain or responding to impulses. There is a superficial attachment to people, but thoughts about the greater good do not occur to them. They are unencumbered by attachments to people and therefore can use their skills at observation without considering the relational impact or larger impacts.
Becuase in the news, we only hear bad things. When was the last time you heard a lovely story on the national news??
As a society/media love to focus on the dark and depressing. . . Apparently it's more interesting than all the wonderful things that we see every day . . .
In a film called before sunset bu Richard Linklater a girl says this which I think sums it up
"Well, for example, I was working for this organization that helped villages in Mexico. And their concerns was how to get the pencils sent to the kid in these little country schools. I was not about big revolutionary ideas, it was about pencils! I see the people that do the real work and what's really said, in a way, is that... the people that are the most giving, hard working and capable of making this world better, usually don't have the ego and ambition to be a leader. They don't see the interest in superficial rewards, they don't care if their name ever appear in the press, they actually enjoy the process of helping others, they're in the moment! "
