by The_TruthRedemption, I feel it's being overly complicated. Absence of Love causes problems. Love is the natural thing we are supposed to feel for others of our species. When thats taken away.. when a child doesn't feel loved by his parents.. that kid is going to face issues. Especially if they can't find love from another source.
Np, I'm all about finding the truth. I've spent a lifetime figuring out my own cycle of compulsions, and for a type that's supposed to be known for their rationality, intelligence, and social prowess, I have a hard time believing we can't figure out a solution for ourselves.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by love, but I will say that I think acceptance, and eventually finding others like yourself, is the key to understanding and finally being able to feel empathy (even if it is just a pang). I think for non-sociopathic people, they are genetically capable of feeling empathy whilst at the same time surrounded by others just like them. Easy, and encouraging, for them to feel good about their fellow man, when their fellow man is someone who's just like them.
For a sociopath, finding another sociopath is few and far in between. For a sociopath, there is a secret that must be kept hidden, from a very early age on, impulses that must be kept in check, an awareness, that you must control. These factors make us different from the majority of those around us, and isolates us from our environment. Having a bad rep doesn't help either.
Bring us to an environment where there's a majority of people like us, SW for example... and you have a lot less neurosis. If this is love for a sociopath, then I'd agree that love would lead to peace and happiness.
After all, even the worst of trolls have a place here.
