Battles become weariness. Carnage bores at last; death becomes the normal condition of things, and ceases to interest. Nations at war are wild beasts. The passions of these hordes of men and women are not an example for a living soul. Our souls grow up to the light; we must keep eye on the light, and look no lower. Nations have no worse than a soiled mirror of themselves in mobs. My son asked me, “If everyone is always wishing for peace, why do we have wars, why did people attack Paris, France?” Although the answer is really complicated and has a lot to do with natural resources, politics, power, and religion, war actually comes down to a couple of things—fear and a lack of empathy. People who start wars are scared and cannot understand the feelings of other people.

Some fear, however, is good. Because you do not want to get hurt, you fear danger and that keeps you safe. You love your family and fear what would happen to them if you could not support them, so sometimes fear is good because it will encourage you to do good things to avoid something bad from happening. However, nothing is so potent as fear well maintained. Fear of others who are unique can lead to deviance and abuse; fear us advancement can lead narrow mindedness; and fear of pain can lead to avoidance.

Nothing confound like to sudden terror, it thrusts every sense out of the human mind. When fear and hate are combined, they become terror. In subtle forms, fear and jealousy causes people to feel entitled and mean, it also creates a culture of bullies. In more extreme forms, this deadly psychological aggregate leads to severe domineering or even genocide, as saw in Paris, France on 13 November 2015, like what happened at the Radison Blu hotel in Mali. When you stigmatize a person and view them as less than human, you feel it if your God given right to do whatever you want to that person.

Let us look into ourselves and fear. Psychopathy refers to a set of behaviors within a person who expresses a lack of empathy and emotional literacy; an individual who appears to make no distinctions between right and wrong, and who feels no guilt about destructive or antisocial behavior. This lifelong mental illness is high in fearlessness and callousness, and they are hazardous to people in their way.  Sometimes psychopathic individuals can become productive members of society, like TV new reporters, channeling their fearlessness and lack on inhibition into constructive activates.

So yes, it is possible your boss or coworker has a mental disability and that is why they are so evil, and seem not to care about their bad behavior. Their dangerously large egotistical behavior allows them to manipulate others through intimidation and manipulation as they see fit. Psychopaths tend to exploit others, they are grandiose, selfish, and delight over controlling and hurting others. People become psychopaths because of posttraumatic stress, substance abuse, and traumatic brain injury. Whom we fear more than love, we are not far from hating. For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
