I've been reading a piece out of the Mail Online,,about psychopaths. Having a psychopathic trait is vital to winning lifes battles. I can go along with that to an extent. One can be a " good " psychopath,,as it doesn't always describe the really ruthless individuals that are always portrayed.
" Good " psychopaths can regulate their behaviour,,whereas bad ones can't.
A surgeon,for instance,,needs a certain level of psychopathy in order to cut himself off,,emotionally,,from his patients. Imagine being emotionally involved ? It would be impossible for him to continue in that profession.
Anyone with a tendency to get on in life,,as we've already discussed,,HAS to be devoid of compassion/emotion to be able to dismiss staff who aren't pulling their weight,,regardless of their circumstances personally.
Andy McNab tells his own story. In his beginning,,he was abandoned on the steps of Guys Hospital,,in a Harrods bag,,then later,adopted,,but a far-cry from Jeremys' upbringing,,as Andy was brought up on a rough housing estate in South West London where it was every man for himself,,and so his background dictated that he had to get on in life in order to remove himself from the horrors of a bleak future.
