Is there such a thing as pure evil in the world? How should we confront evil? Can evil ever be finally overcome?

It's terrible! We can't callIt's terrible! We can't call children with psychopathy evil. I understand that psychopathy is not a choice, but people with this diagnosis must be isolated. One day they can hurt someone.

You are an ignorant cowardYou are an ignorant coward who cannot handle people with a "diagnosis" that is an evolutionary advantage. People with autism, epilepsy, anxiety, and who were LGBT were "isolated" before the conditions were understood or accepted as normal.
You will never be able to entrap us all. Good luck trying to persist in a world with people who can outthink, outsmart, and con you without hesitation or difficulty.
People like me are everywhere. Blending in is part of my personality disorder.
People like me are your confidants, therapists, clergy, and we are your daughters, sons, brothers, and sisters.
“I don't feel guilty for anything. I feel sorry for people who feel guilt. I haven't blocked out the past. I wouldn't trade the person I am, or what I've done, or the people I've known, for anything. So I do think about it. And at times it's a rather mellow trip to lay back and remember.”
