Toxic People: Social Commentary - Introduction to Psychopathic Individuals

When I got involve with this beautiful woman I thought I had struck a diamond mine, a keeper, a woman worthy of being the Queen I have always dreamt of having by my side, but man was I in for a hell of a shock. We have all been in relationship with people whom we thought at first cared about us because they showed us so much love, compassion and attention since meeting their acquaintance, but somewhere along the line these people turn out to be a paradox in our lives turning parasitic the grim reapers of happiness and joy, killing the hearts, minds, dreams, ambitions, self esteem, souls and bodies of every person they come into contact with. This leave us with such a conundrum that it is extremely perplexing. How and why do these individuals turn out to be such destructive forces, that they literally change lives for the worst to which for many there is no refuge, no recovering, and for the disastrously unfortunate, no surviving. It seems like these people have the power to shake the foundation of our inept self and create within us something unrecognizable to our own self and others as well. Where the fuck do these enigmatic people come from? Aye Caramba!!  
 
Oh how i long for the days when meeting someone was a genuine gesture between two strangers, whether it's someone for a romantic interest or a friend or someone at a new job. Just people with no hidden agenda but to genuinely get to know one another in an almost innocent sounding way. Not saying that those people whom this essay is about did not exist, but i would like to believe from my own experience that those people existed in lesser numbers than they do today.
However throughout our human history they have been men and women of the worst kind, people who have lost their empathy to identify with the suffering and sometimes the joy of victims. Men like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Moa Zedong in the beginning of the modern era destroyed an unprecedented number of lives on a mass scale in a short period of time. Then you have the serial killers which includes the likes of Gilles de Rais, Born 1404 who was convicted of torturing, raping and murdering a grotesque number of young children, many of whom were young boys. Richard Trenton Chase, Born 1950 killed six people in a one month period in California, Chase drank his victims’ blood practicing cannibalism and necrophilia. Jeffrey Dahmer, Born 1960 murdered and ate the remains of at least 17 men and boys. Albert Fish, Born 1870 boasted of molesting over 100 children, and was a murder suspect in five deaths. Andrei Chikatilo, Born 1936 murdered 53 women and children from 1978 to 1990, he was convicted and executed. Ted Bundy, Born 1946 Bundy confessed to raped and murder of 30 women across the United States between 1974 and 1978. Beverly Allitt Born: 1968 she is responsible for the murder of 4 children and the serious injury of 5 others in her care. Aileen Wuornos Born: 1956 convicted of killing seven men in florida. A recently movie made about her life story called "Monster" which starred Charlize Theron. These people represent the worst forms of humanity and rightfully so.
 
Ah but there is another class of people that do their damage to other individuals over an extended period of time, these people tend to be more intimate, methodical, in your face, get to know you, befriend you, bed you, marry you, raise a family with you, all the while slowly eating away your dignity, your confidence, your self worth, dehumanizing you to the point where you don't feel like a human being, you don't feel alive. They abuse you, sexually, emotional, physically, psychologically, morally, religiously, and financially. They degrade and terrorize they victims over an extended period of time to which they experience great joy and delight as you slowly whither away into nothingness, boasting to themselves and others of their accomplishment in destroying the lives of others. Their goal is to put their victim in shame, using them as scapegoats to justify all that is wrong with their meaningless miserably petty existence.  Someone they can control, blame all their troubles on, someone who won't fight back, they are like those listed in the above paragraph the lowest form of humanity. They thrive on sorrow and misery, they have no empathy, no remorse, no conscience, no compassion, which is imperative in order for one to develop a moral foundation. They Lie, steal, cheat, and they are extremely cruel, argumentative and hostile.They seem totally oblivious to the fact that they somehow and in some way must be held responsible and accountable for the countless lives they have annihilated. Sure they are sweet in the beginning, but that is just so you can open up to them, tell your most intimate secrets, while they study and take notes, waiting for the right opportunity to manipulate you, coerce you, threaten and harass you into becoming one of their dominion, the making of a new kind of slave. These are the people whom this essay is about.
 
They use what is called attachment therapy techniques which relies on non forceful and forceful physical coercion and restraint, verbal abuse, intimidation, humiliation, punishments which include torture, poisoning of food and water. Also including the destruction of property, the crippling or sometimes flat out destruction of an individual economical status through blacklisting. For my first example I would like to tell you the story of my cousin, lets call him Mark for the purpose of protecting his identity. Mark is a very smart hard working guy, he has his own construction business and builds and renovate old houses in which he sells and rents. Mark met a woman lets call her Mary, very beautiful, they dated for a while then became serious and began a monogamous relationship. Things were going well but then Mark notices he was losing weight rapidly and was becoming very sickly quite frequently, but being such a busy guy he thought nothing of it contributed it to work related stress and continued with business as usual. Mark also noticed that Mary was becoming verbally abusive, telling him that he was horrible in bed and constantly talking about her ex and how muscular and great in bed he was. Mark being such a loving guy ask Mary what could he do to make her feel the same way about him. Mary ask Mark to draw up a will and add her name as the sole beneficiary, to which Mark told Mary he would have to thing about that. As the days and weeks past Mark health was rapidly deteriorating to the point where he was hospitalized. Mary never came to see Mark in the hospital and when he came home he found an empty house and a note saying that he was an idiot and she never loved or liked him, she was just looking for a sucker and a place to crash until her ex boyfriend got himself on his feet. To make matters worse Mark got his blood work results back and was called into the doctors office to his surprise there were two police detectives waiting to speak to him about his health. It seemed that Mary was putting arsenic in Mark's food and it almost killed him. Mary disappeared never to be heard from again.
 
For my second example, meet Vivian: Vivian is Asian, very beautiful but extremely lonely, she is sought of an introvert and spends most of her time alone. One day while Vivian was shopping she met a guy name Christopher. Christopher was very handsome, charming, witty, and woo'ed Vivian the first time they met. The two made a wonderful couple and after a year of dating Christopher propose to which Vivian Happily replied yes. During the year of courtship Vivian opened up the Chris and told him things she had not told anyone else. The night they had sex Vivian told Christopher that she had Herpes and Christopher told her that there are so many people out there with this ailment that it is as common as the common cold, to which Vivian smiled and said he made her feel very normal and that she was falling in love with him. About a month after the engagement on a Friday night Christopher came home drunk, he was so drunk that he climbed into bed and puked all over a sleeping Vivian who immediately awoke and starting screaming pushing him out of bed. Chris got upset and slapped Vivian so hard that he busted her lip. The next day Chris started to act different, he became more abusive, controlling, when she came home from work she could not go anywhere without him and if he was not at home she was not allowed to leave the house. Things go so bad that Vivian told him she was leaving to which he replied "You not going anywhere bitch, who is gonna want you, you have herpes and no man is gonna want a diseased bitch, no man is going to want to fuck you, that sit is nasty." this made Vivian curl into a ball and cried. She thought to herself Chris was right, she had been so lonely and Chris made her feel so loved and cherished she could not go back to being a hermit. Vivian stayed and things kept getting worse, verbal abuse, more physical abuse, then Chris started to cheat right in front of her face. He would bring different girls home and force her to watch him have sexual intercourse with these woman leaving her feeling empty, angry, broken, and in despair. And to top things off Christopher confessed that he also had herpes and that he stalked her for months after reading her profile on a herpes dating site. Vivian was furious, she felt deceived, violated and hurt, she could not believe this was happening to her, she couldn’t cope, she couldn’t face the little friends she has, or face her family, things go much worst, feeling unbearable Vivian committed suicide. “There is no pain in the grave”
