So it's biological, now what?

[Guest guest]

So I just read an awesome book I think every KO of a cluster b should read

called The science of evil by Baron-cohen. It's also published under the title

of Zero Degrees of Empathy. This book shines the light on the lack of empathy

common in psychopaths, narcissists, borderlines, and autistic/aspergers and

finds what is in common. I was especially interested in the " empathy circuit "

in the brain that is malfunctioning in all of these people. Literally they

don't have the hardware to feel and respond the way they should. It has been

proven.

So where does that leave us? Wounded by growing up in the care of people in

whom the lack of empathy would be the most harmful to our development. Stuck in

permanent painful lifetime relationships unless willing to go NC. Where can

blame go? responsibility go? When these people can no more respond in an

emotionally normal way than they could run in they had no legs? I wonder if

one should approach this the same as if a hurricane destroyed your house...a

force of nature, something beyond our control. Trouble is that this isn't a

one-time event...
