Control is attractive to alienated, damaged people. Such people fear life and deplore weakness. When young they were unwanted or resented. In many cases they were eclipsed by a more attractive or gifted sibling who received all the attention and praise. Some suffered physical abuse from their family, or were sent far from home to an institution where cruelty was routine.Such experiences deny a child the opportunity to learn the value of empathy and kindness. Life becomes a matter of survival, and an astute child observes the methods of control and the strategies needed to avoid punishment and pain, and how to gain advantage.These techniques become automatic. The person becomes cunning, untrustworthy; and techniques which get results are reinforced and persist and produce a person who is, unfortunately, a thoroughly nasty piece of work.
Hmmmm. Yes, but we all, to a greater or lesser extent, learn strategies to get our way. Some go full Sigma and just do as they wish, unsocialised like a Jack Reacher. But the thing with Reacher was that he did have a code of right and wrong.
What the writer is on about here is that danger to society which needs snuffing out. Either they're jailed for longer or summarily hanged, I'm not sure which yet but one thing is for sure ... the type needs stopping with max prej. Immediately.
