What is antisocial person

The term antisocial may be confusing to the lay public, as the more common definition outside of clinical usage is an individual who is a loner or socially isolated. The literal meaning of the word antisocial can be more descriptive to both the lay public and professionals: to be anti-social, is to be against society; against rules, norms, laws and acceptable behavior. Individuals with Antisocial Personality Disorder tend to be charismatic, attractive, and very good at obtaining sympathy from others; for example, describing themselves as the victim of injustice. Some studies suggest that the average intelligence of antisocials is higher than the norm. Antisocials possess a superficial charm, they can be thoughtful and cunning, and have an intuitive ability to rapidly observe and analyze others, determine their needs and preferences, and present it in a manner to facilitate manipulation and exploitation. They are able to harm and use other people in this manner, without remorse, guilt, shame or regret. It is widely stated that antisocials are without empathy, however this can be disputed, as sadistic antisocials will use empathy to experience their victim's suffering, and derive a fuller pleasure from it (Turvey, 1995).

Isla del Encanto

When I left the US Air Force in 1980, I returned to Puerto Rico with enthusiasm and pride in having defended the power of expression and freedom.

35 years later, living in the island, I could not bear all the corruption I saw. The pain was great because the terroir is beautiful, but corruption is too much for my spirit.

I'm not saying I'm in a better place but I see more good than bad and that calms my soul a bit.

The sorrow that I see from afar is great, I do not know if the Merciful, pity and change the souls of the people. But if a people does not transform their hearts to mercy and compassion I will not see the longing of my heart.

I am agnostic but of Christian roots and in the word says that the times to come will be worse.

The word can not be changed only the heart. I have my little Islita del Encanto in my heart and I will never forget your beaches, mountains, paths and landscapes because she saw me being born and made of me a man with the heart of a mother.

In time we will see ourselves in Paradise, Puerto Rico.
