I ANSWERED THE FOLLOWING QUESTION ON QUORA.COM: Does a lack of empathy always indicate a bad person, or can good people simply not empathize with certain topics?

The inability to “EMPATHIZE” is not a crime, but it is also not an excuse for Unethical or Criminal Behavior.

One of The accepted characteristics of a Sociopath is a lack of Empathy. Yet, the Sociopath is not Mentally Ill as judged by our Criminal Justice System. They are fully capable of understanding that certain actions and behaviors are not Morally, Socially, Civilly, or Criminally Acceptable by the General Public or Law Enforcement. They may not like it, but are Intellectually Capable of adjusting their behavior to obey Societies Laws and Mores.

If a person considers their lack of EMPATHY not as an advantage to spend life Using and Abusing others, but as a Handicap that can be overcome by looking at Life and Social Interactions through the disciplines of LOGIC AND CRITICAL THINKING, then the accomplishments of THE INTELLECT BENEFITTING OTHERS CAN LEAD TO A SENSE OF SATISFACTION AND ACHIEVEMENT THAT TRANSCENDS THE IMMEDIATE GRATIFICATION, OR INFLATED SENSE OF “GOD” LIKE POWER THAT THE SOCIOPATH OFTEN LIVES THEIR LIFE SEEKING.*

(REMEMBER, A PSYCHOPATH HAS AN ACTUAL CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL ABNORMALITY IN THE BRAIN, THAT OFTEN LEADS TO DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR. OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM RECOGNIZES THIS. HOWEVER, A SOCIOPATH HAS NO SUCH PROBLEM(S).
