The convictions and psychopathy

People possessed of an unshakable belief (political, religious), they act like psychopaths ignore the interests of others.

To a psychopath, there is neither sin nor guilt, or remorse. A psychopath is unable to empathize, to feel with the other, realize that if someone is suffering, that person could be himself.

They understand that there are social norms (respecting a row, helping the fallen, they return it on loan), but the evaluation of others' pain doing the little influence, do not understand that they could suffer as his victims.

A non-psychopaths occurs to us that we make decisions to imagining others' interests are identical to ours.

Those who decide for others (without their consent), have a kind of psychopathy because it also wrong to assess the sensitivity of others. The psychopath's almost entirely unknown and who make decisions without consulting stakeholders, do something like psychopaths but their behavior is usually better suited to the demands of victims of unexpected help.

They also have a pretty psychopathic behavior those who, although they have the sensitivity to capture a similar pain and are able to feel guilt for the damage they cause to others, are guided by goals that seem to pass over to the other.

I am thinking of those who have a idiología that provides unquestionable certainties. Dogmas usually have that trait: they bring to those who use them, a gratifying absence of uncertainty because their creed will provide all the answers.

With these assumptions taken as truths (dogmas), the believer hears our different opinions. As this ideology has convinced him that there is a better way to understand reality, act like psychopaths sure it's for our own good.
