How do some people sleep at night after some of the cruel, unethical things they have done?

Question

There are people who cheat on their spouses, steal from the charity fund, get drunk and assault their girlfriends, use drugs and endanger the lives of their children, and the list goes on and on.

Some people feel guilty when they do those things, but there are a LOT of people who go through their lives everyday without as much as the slightest bit of remorse for actions like that. Not only that, but they accuse you of being "intolerant" if you hold them accountable for their inappropriate behavior.

What causes someone to live their life without a conscience?

Answer 1

Could be many things. To generalize would be inappropriate.

Answer 2

Well, I think there are three types of people who do that kind of thing.

Person #1: Pain. Lack of purpose. Hopelessness. Loss of everything that used to keep them stable.

Person #2: From looking at the world and acquiring bad things from it into their head. This person never got the chance to develop their own morals because being a pr*ck is all they grew up knowing how to be.

Person #3: A sociopath. Has a passion for hurting other people. Lack of a conscience. Lack of emotion and sensitivity with anything and everything.

Answer 3

They are sociopaths in some of those cases and in others they take a lot of strong sleeping pills

Answer 4

that is what all these drugs are for
