There is increasing evidence that the amount of sociopaths have been in rise in the recent age. The sociopath is said to be more dangerous than the psychopaths. Unlike psychopaths, sociopaths are the result of the social environment. This in turn could mean that this society is great at making sociopaths.
This also means that there are an abundance of people who are at the borderline of being sociopaths. This is the era of no empathy
Despite the clear evidence of this, people will not change their lifestyle. Even when they know that their wasteful luxury will jeopardize not only the future of the lower class but of their own children. There is no empathy in this era, and the people with no empathy are ruling.
Wouldn’t our children later call this age an era of sociopaths? Only those who came from a kinship community like the boy from South Sudan would be able to tell the pathological state we are in. This is because all of us are infected with the same illness. In other words, we live in cities where we are indifferent to the pain and joy in the life of our neighbors. And this is socially acceptable. We are unable to see our own disease.
