Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are cor- roded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.- James 5:1-6

In my perspective, knowing exactly what one is and seeing it as right or wrong aren’t always a pair. Some psychology professionals don’t differentiate between psychopathy and sociopathy; others say aspd persons know what they do is wrong, and do it anyway but psychopaths do not. Either way, neither personality seems to admit knowing exactly what they are, to psychology professionals or legal employees, for reasons.
edited for spelling and clarification.
** second edit: thanking you for a thought-provoking conversation. I’ll probably mull it over, for weeks.
knowing exactly what one is and seeing it as right or wrong aren’t always a pair.
I think that's a good summation of the point I was trying to make, and I agree with the rest too (as for the reasons they won't admit it - probably good ol conative dissonance, so back to the difference between knowing something is wrong, and acknowledging it), though I try to avoid naming any disorders since I'm not qulified to.
And thank you, too, it's a really interesing topic that I'm not sure even the experts know the whole answers to (if they did, you'd hope we wouldn't still be dealing with such abusers and exploiters), the human brain is a hell of a drug lol
