Corporations i.e., American or otherwise often reward sociopaths with extra ordinary income.
Sociopath=the word means a person who is threatening and dangerous to society.
The qualifications of a sociopath are ridicule, humiliation, satire, sarcasm, self-aggrandizement, domination and aggressiveness. The key element is the desire to ‘win’ at all cost and unbridled ambition. Their competitive instinct is high.
Along with the above, the sociopath can use a variety of personas to mesmerize people. The sociopath often suffers from addictions to food or other coping mechanisms. The sociopath is ill, but he or she is well rewarded in modern cultures–the more corporate the vibe, the greater the push that parents make to create ‘winners.’
When corporate culture evolved, people realized that it wasn’t enough to be smart or hardworking or ‘good’ at something.
The culture needed something else–a hunger for success. A deep sense of insecurity had to be implanted at an early age, where nothing was good enough==ever. There was also an extreme need for control, arising from a rigorous schedule that would lead to achievement.
Corporations found that sociopaths or bullies as we can call them, are able to do anything for success. Lacking real courage or inner moral strength, sociopaths are docile people and usually not independent thinkers. They can be managed easily because of their inner need for external control. Thus, they can thrive on pleasing an authority figure of some kind. If they respect a certain type of thinking, they will respect a person who has similar opinions or values.
It may seem shocking to people, but some of the most ambitious people are broken early by their parents or another authority figure. Even if someone does not directly abuse a child, watching abuse can also trigger the same pattern.
To the sociopath this way of life is normal and necessary. Unable to easily access empathy or emotional connection to another human being–many of them fear emotions. But sociopaths can be emotional leeches. They drain others around them and constantly need a boost from people around them. They impact others in subtle ways by passing on negative feelings. You can recognize a sociopath by the health of the spouse and/or other family members or his or her own health. Illness without cause in the family members can be often connected to a sociopath in the family. For example, inexplicable hormone issues, early menopause etc., often reveal a situation where a woman is married to a sociopath.
Sociopaths are often well rewarded financially and they can offer financial stability. Thus many women may not show a mark on the body, but be emotionally stunted because of the sociopaths need for control.
Sociopaths are more common than we realize. High achieving households where it is absolutely imperative for kids to perform, and childhood violence or discipline are some of the reasons how sociopathic tendencies get triggered.
There could be extreme anxiety and stress underneath the sociopaths coping mechanisms–learnt from how they saw their family members behave, those patterns are often too deep for the individual to even realise without the help of others.
Many people can find sociopaths magnetic, there is something beautiful about painful intensity and it can mesmerize people. Sociopaths are often very smart. Members of either gender can have sociopathic tendencies.
The real question is, what does one do about sociopaths, seeing that the world of work rewards only the mind, and not the heart? sociopaths are actually rewarded at work, regardless of their actual emotional state and how they drain people around them.
This is a question that can only be answered by the individual. It depends to some extent on the will of the ‘victim’ of abuse. It can be pretty subtle — sometimes the sociopath appears socially well adjusted==but spend one month with the person and people can get quite miserable. (Immune response or physical health is intimately connected to the feelings people experience on a daily basis).
There is greater awareness of emotional health and stress coming into the world, however a lot of work needs to be done in this area. Even though corporate/work culture rewards people who are sociopaths, because of the ‘mind is boss’ orientation that the world has had.
This is a passing trend, because emotional disabilities such as depression and anxiety are epidemic now. Most of the mental health diseases cannot be cured or addressed through vaccinations or drugs–unlike older diseases which were physical in nature. Inexplicable problems like auto immune and other nervous system disorders are very common these and the role of emotional triggers are being recognized by some radical researchers.
The onus of emotional healing however falls on the individual. There is no microscope for the heart, except meditation, where the individual can notice the subconscious programming that was done earlier on in life.
Thus spirituality is about unlearning the unhealthy patterns learnt in previous experiences.
Meditation is a necessity and not a luxury in today’s world.
