Ah, there's where you're going awry. You are trying to equate the behavior of a mentally ill person with your own behavior, which is impossible. It's like asking what was Jeffrey Dahmer thinking? What set him off? Sometimes there's no motive other than people are freaking crazy.
This is strangely why my wife and I like "Criminal Minds". It goes - however briefly - into the minds of crazy people to show how they think.
I'm often amazed that while profiling isn't precise, catching these kinds of killers shows they're not smart at all - they just think so different and
in such psychotic ways, we're ill-equipped to grasp it.
Well, the other reason was - until recently - my wife liked to see Shemar Moore on it.
She watches his new show now.
Ever hear or read this story? It's a test to see if you might be a psychopath. It's actually not very accurate, but it gives an idea into
the mind of a person who thinks that way.
“
While at her own mother's funeral, a woman meets a guy she doesn't know.
She thinks this guy is amazing — her dream man — and is pretty sure he could be the love of her life.
However, she never asked for his name or number and afterwards could not
find anyone who knows who he was. A few days later the girl kills her own sister – but why?”
There are many ways to answer this question, but if you suggest that it’s because the girl thought
the man would turn up at her sister’s subsequent funeral, you’re apparently a bit of a psychopath
