There is endless psychological research on evil people. But in my experience the average sociopath has no idea they are wrong. They're born this way, not made.

Illusions are dangerous.

Illusions are dangerous . . . Ideas are infallible, people are not. Don't confuse the two.

Everyone wants to be loved for who they are, even if we keep our true selves locked up and hidden. It's a nice little fantasy to believe that the right person holds the key and all the things you do not say are just somehow, magically, known.

You can get anything you want if you're nice to people. People like to do things for people, it's so easy to be kind.
