Hi all; Just picked up a copy of People of the Lie by M. Scott Peck, MD. Fascinating book, first out back in '83. He feels that lying is central to evil, particularly lying to oneself. An interesting thought... Some quotes (pages refer to ISBN 0-671-45492-7, 0-671-52816-5.) p. 76 We become evil by attempting to hide from ourselves. The wickedness of the evil is not committed directly, but indirectly as a part of this cover-up process. Evil originates not in the absence of guilt but in the effort to escape it. p. 107 (regarding some nasty parents) Another typical -- and rather intriguing -- feature of the cases of Bobby and Roger is the extraordinary unity of their parents. Each set of parents functioned as a team. With thought to the difficult of some Democrats to accept what Bill Clinton (as a father figure for the country) has been doing: p. 130 To come to terms with evil in one's parentage is perhaps the most difficult and painful psychological task a human being can be called on to face. Most fail and so remain its victims. p. 135 ... "wherever there is evil, there's a lie around," I remarked. "Evil always has something to do with lies." Describing the tendency of habitual liars to scapegoat others, (particularly those that are easy to bully, like Clinton's women, or the various victims in Nazi Germany.) p. 136 We can see, then, that their narcissism makes the evil dangerous not only because it motivates them to scapegoat others but because it deprives them of the restraint that results from empathy and respect for others In addition to the fact that the evil need victims to sacrifice to their narcissism, their narcissism permits them to ignore the humanity of their victims as well. Funny thing is that enough of the American public believed that Clinton could "feel their pain," when he obviously was unable to feel the pain of those closest to him... He's a sicko. The Republican party is doing the Democrats a favor in helping to rid them of him. -- Carl
