“Part Two -- Red Flags   Chapter Five: Red Flags of a Psychopath   artist unknown   Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth. ~ Buddha”

“I call them New Age Bullies — those who, sometimes with the best intentions, repeat spiritual movement shibboleths, with little understanding of how hurtful their advice can be. Some of their favorite clichés are: It happened for a reason. Nobody can hurt you without your consent. I wonder why you created this illness (or experience). There are no accidents. There are no victims. There are no mistakes. A variant of this behavior is found in the self-bullying people who blame themselves for being victims of a crime, accident, or illness and interpret such misfortunes as evidence of their personal defects or spiritual deficiencies.”

“The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing, and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.” ~Henri Nouwen”

“One mustn't look into the abyss, because there is at the bottom an inexplicable charm which attracts us. ~ Gustave Flaubert”
A.B. Admin, Psychopaths and Love
“When the mask drops, the person you thought he was disappears.  He will look quite different, and any illusion of normalcy will be gone. You will immediately “know” that he is predator, and nothing more than that. He may also come across as blatantly lecherous. You will experience what it is to be prey. The moment you realize he is a predator, you’ll know that everything else – everything else—was merely window dressing, smoke and mirrors, fluff.  That was the sheep’s clothing, and this is the wolf beneath. If you're lucky he puts the mask back on, along with the charm that comes with it. But you will never be the same.”

“Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow." ~ Leo Tolstoy”
A.B. Admin, Psychopaths and Love
“Psychopaths are social predators who are born without a conscience and without the ability to feel love, compassion, fear or remorse. Psychopaths experience the lack of these abilities and emotions as indication that they are superior, and they consider us nothing more than prey to be hunted to fulfill their own needs. The psychopath considers life a game to be played and "won" at the expense of others. Inflicting harm, whether it be psychological, spiritual, physical or financial, is entertainment to them. Self-gratification is the only thing that motivates them and all that they live for. Psychopaths play their game primarily to fulfill their insatiable desires for power and control.”
