Let\'s pretend for a moment that lack of empathy and remorse \'\'is\'\' the only distinguishing factor between you and a \'sociopath\' - no longer used as a clinical term largely because of the abuse of its meaning. ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissocial_personality_disorder#ICD-10 It isn\'t even consistently true of all such patients with the equivalent disorders]].) Such people are lacking critical components of an healthy mind. This shortcoming prevents them from understanding the damage they are doing to other people because they are unable to project themselves into their victims head.

You, on the other hand, as a person not lacking this faculty, \'\'are\'\' capable of getting into a sociopath\'s head, stepping into their shoes, feeling for a moment as they feel. Instead, you rank them as equivalent to unnatural nightmares from realms beyond human imagination. \'\'You have the faculties to empathise with them, and you have chosen not to use them.\'\'
