Well... I don't know. I hate myself. And I pretty-much hate everyone else too in real life. I'm not a psychologist. So I can't say where this sort of emotion comes from exactly. But I doubt it has to do with being a psychopath. In my case, at least, I think it's simply the result of an ocean liner's worth of sorrow & regret. I strive to meet it with compassionate abiding. As the eleventh century Tibetan yogini Machig Labdrön said: "In other traditions demons are expelled externally. But in my tradition demons are accepted with compassion."
