Thank God for my cat. I feel like he is the only one in my life who loves me unconditionally and with no strings attached, and the only one who won't be cursing me out tomorrow when the news gets out.

"Good" is also a concept. I think EVIL is like "dark" and is the absence of "light" (Good). The journey to healing from victimhood, from being the target of evil intentions/action, is as much a philosophical one and a spiritual one as it is mental, physical and emotional. It only takes a small amount of light to overcome the darkness, and it only takes a little good to overcome the evil. Interesting enough, when the 9/11 terrorists came here and wanted to learn to fly airplanes they didn't understand how small really and tightly knitt general aviation pilots are and didn't know how to "fit in" so red flags were raised months before 9/11---one man told the flight instructor he only wanted to work on TAKE OFFS and didn't want to work on how to smoothly land the plane. Well DUH!!!!! No need to land it when you are going to be crashing it. Psychopaths are also not "with it" in how to interact in an unfamiliar community I think it was Lincoln that said "you can fool some of the people all of the time, and some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people ALL of the time. Even a "goo" psychopath can't keep up the mask for every one all the time. Sooner or later someone figures out what their game is. It might be as simple as pretending to be a victim (the old pity play ploy) but I'm learning to see the light shining through the holes in the mask. Funny thing is, I played these games when I was iin 4th and 5th grades, and I've outgrown them now so my interest in communicating with a psychopah is nill at this point in life, they are just not intereesting any more. Sky and One,

Reading it has really helped me to consider what my parents are. I know that we aren't "qualified" to diagnose from the DSM IV but we can still use the word evil. It's strange, but YEARS before I knew what spaths were I said, "R and A (my spath sis and her trojan horse) are evil." I said it over and over, not really knowing what I meant by it. All I knew is that there was something about them that made me need to bathe after I visited their house. http://narcissists-suck.blogsp.....bling.html

I read the little blurb on the back and i start to laugh. I talk to the clerk about it (this is an indie sotre i used to work in- they always have the BEST staff). So the guy had obviously studied philosophy and contextualizes the blurb for me (post decontrustionist...blah blah...'evil' becomes an 'idea'). the pithy blurb read: 'In this witty, accessible study, the prominent Marxist thinker Terry Eagleton launches a surprising defense of the reality of evil, drawing on literary, theological, and psychoanalytic sources to <i>suggest that evil, no mere medieval artifact, is a real phenomenon with palpable force in our contemporary world.

So, so sad. Sometimes good people do what they should and evil still wins! But I love that quote...good one. Grrrrrrr...I agree!!! GROWL! Oxy:
