[link to en.m.wikipedia.org (secure)] I think highly empathic people can be pushed into numbness with can resemble both the coldness and distance that sociopaths display. Quoting: Seer777 Perhaps even becoming a sociopath yourself. To not feel at all, is sometimes far better than too much. Basically, blocking everything. I think empaths and sociopaths do this similarly. I ended up watching a documentary on Stalin yesterday and I was shocked at how easy it was for me to see how he became like he did. Hindsight being 20:20. He was the son of a poor, violent abusive father, which injured him so severely when he was 7, that his left arm was left withered for life by the assault. He was then accepted into a type of priesthood for boys, where he was beaten there and God knows what else. His first wife dies in childbirth from which he exclaims, she takes his heart with her in her death. From there is a decent into what later occurred. The starving deaths of millions. His mother said to him on her death bed, Son, it would have been better had you become a priest... [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] To go through hell (lower level of being) and still be able to feel love and compassion is strength. You then get to leave hell, so to speak, because you've risen above external circumstances without it affecting who you are inside. The frequency of love and the domain of the selfless. To go through hell and lose all love and compassion is weakness, turning one into the very thing that hurt you originally. You devolve lower into hell, the frequency of fear and the domain of the bully. It's tricky business. Well said and tricky indeed. Gazing into the Abyss and all that. Fine line. With Stalin, it almost felt like a deliberate act against a God that 'didn't exist'. It wasn't there to help him as a boy, nor in the boys priesthood, and took the very thing he loved as a man. And that point I suppose gaining power with his charisma and tactics was no longer impeded by the worry about what 'God' may think of any action. He was ruthless to succeed. And succeed he did. He was a nobody that rose to the top. To worship. While millions died. A Cult of personality. His 2nd wife killed herself and denounced him in the suicide letter. They were all afraid of him. I have been considering for over a week now how a sociopath can be created and this followed one of my posits. Stalin's mother was the first/last human he ever loved. Maybe beside his daughter..which he even threatened to kill... Difficulties strengthen the Mind as labor does the body... ~Seneca |

And that's just in 50 years. The purge was motivated by the desire to remove dissenters from the Communist Party and to consolidate the authority of Stalin. Most public attention was focused on the purge of certain parts of the leadership of the Communist Party, as well as of government bureaucrats and leaders of the armed forces, most of whom were Party members. The campaigns also affected many other categories of the society: intelligentsia, peasants and especially those branded as "too rich for a peasant" (kulaks), and professionals.

Quoting: krakendeeeznuts Twitter, like many internet platforms including Facebook and Google, is not available in China. Nonetheless, a small percentage of Chinese internet users circumvent the Great Firewall using software to access the site. Now it seems that Chinese authorities are cracking down. The Times spoke with nine Twitter users who have been questioned by the police, and reviewed a recording of a four-hour long interrogation. Officers showed people printouts of their tweets complaining that they were critical of the government or of President Xi Jinping, and advised them to take down their tweets or delete their accounts.

The quote is most likely due to writer and philosopher George Santayana, and in its original form it read, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Santayana was known for aphorisms, and for being a professor in philosophy at Harvard which he abandoned. Prior to that, Santayana attended Boston Latin School and Harvard College, where he studied under the philosophers William James and Josiah Royce. According to Santayana's philosophy, history repeats. The phrasing itself certainly is catchy. It's a big one, not only because it is so common, but also because if it is true and if history, driven by human nature, is ugly (hint: it is), then this saying ought to guide our public and private policy.
