@Salmon. That is spot on! I'm going to copy that, enlarge and frame it and hang it up somewhere prominent !! It's time to sit back and think DEEPLY about that.

I like these type of related stories. The Whale - A Beautiful and Thought-Provoking TaleWill and Guy have been sent this report by two of our regular contributors to the site - Maggie Nutt and John Reeves. We are grateful for their additions.
A female humpback whale had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth. A fisherman spotted her just east of the Faralon Islands [off the coast of San Francisco, California, USA] and radioed for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so badly off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her. A very dangerous proposition as one slap of the tail could kill a prospective rescuer.
They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her.
When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, nudged them, and pushed gently, thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.
The man who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.

Lying is like breathing to the psychopath. When caught in a lie and challenged, they make up new lies, and don't care if they're found out. As Hare states, "Lying, deceiving, and manipulation are natural talents for psychopaths...When caught in a lie or challenged with the truth, they are seldom perplexed or embarrassed -- they simply change their stories or attempt to rework the facts so that they appear to be consistent with the lie. The results are a series of contradictory statements and a thoroughly confused listener." (Hare, 46).
Psychopaths may also sense that they are different and damaged when compared with others, which feeds further resentments.
Everyone who knows a psychopath will be stabbed in the back, sooner or later.
Guggenbuhl-Craig states that they are very talented at appearing much more humble than the average person, but are hardly so.
The psychopath also appears not to be able to remember what they had said or committed to for very long. They seem to always be living in the present. That is why they are usually guilty of being big promise-makers who cannot live up to their word. Once again, it will be the victim who must deal with the aftermath of all the psychopath's twists and turns, and when he/she gets you angry enough, you will be discredited as "defective" by him/her, and the psychopath will often make himself/herself out to be the real victim.

Rules, even natural order, if followed makes for a boring human, an almost robotic like presence. How many rules are to be broken before one is called a psychopath I wonder..
Uncertainty or not knowing causes depression, Im happy because I know I'm going to die one day!
