They were privileged with every ability to feel love, to care for others, to understand - truly understand - right from wrong. They just ignore it.

Psychopaths, on the other hand, we're a product only of God's twisted sense of humor. Our amoral nature is inherit, and something never to be changed, even when reared in a loving home. And, unlike our lesser counterparts, we were stricken with the inability to ever know love, or to give affection for another human being. To us, emotion, real heartfelt emotion, is nothing more than an elusive myth. And for those who dare attempt to care about us, their lives will bear the brunt of our hatred for humanity... because, in the end, all we have to give is a deep-seated core of rage and pain!
You believe whole heartedly the above and therefore feel you cannot change.

I was amazed to learn, that when their brains were scanned - they all showed the same area in the brain that was different.
Lynn got this information from a TV programme. You cannot rely on the TV 'experts.'

You cannot blame psychopathic behaviour on the difference of a brain scan! Behaviour is behaviour. A human being, unless you feel you are some kind of new species?

Which experts? I think you are believing what is easier for you to believe. Change is difficult but possible.
