Why did the chicken cross the road?

So he wouldn't have to kill himself.

I was proud of myself and I wanted to tell my mom, but she was out in the garden.

She'd always been protective of me, and for some reason I was embarrassed by my
psychopathic tendency to dream of dead chickens.

I figured I was better off keeping it to myself.

I asked her instead what she knew about psychopathy.

She said a psychopath is someone who lacks empathy, has no conscience, and cannot feel
guilt.

"They're usually serial killers," she said.

That explained it.

I never had trouble knowing when I was being talked to by an insane person, but psychopaths
seemed very intelligent, maybe even a little inspiring.

I could have been one.

She also explained what most psychopaths have in common with psychopaths.

We're cruel, greedy, and selfish.

We always want what we can't have, and we tend to do unto others what we wish were not
done to ourselves.

By the end of my "Psy - File" series, I came to the conclusion that psychopaths are basically
antisocial people who are capable of great feats of behavior that I'm not equipped to deal with.

I'm not judgmental, and I try not to be hurtful, but I don't really understand why I do the things I
do.

I've met a lot of psychopaths, and I know they are human like the rest of us.

Their brains just work differently.

I have no idea what makes a person decide to be a psychopath, or any kind of criminal.

I don't think I'm a psychopath.

I don't have much in common with them.

I am however not an antisocial person, and I don't spend my time killing people or stealing from
them.
I prefer to see it as a psychological issue that explains why I have issues with the world, and I
am the one who has to work to overcome those issues and live the kind of life I want.

I don't expect to ever be completely free of my psychopathic tendencies.

I do what I can to help myself out of it whenever I can, and I'm grateful for what I have, but I
can't do it for everyone.

What I learned from this series is that not everyone thinks like I do.

As with most things, there is a spectrum, and some people aren't psychopaths at all.

They have values, they are compassionate, and they want to do the right thing.

People like that are the most incredible people.

I am not one of those people, so I'm probably not going to understand their ways.

Maybe I don't want to.

Not everyone who thinks like I do is on the same page as me, so I guess I don't really have the
right to write from the same perspective as them.

However, I can understand that perspective.

I'm not trying to say I know what I'm talking about, and I'm sure people can find other writers
who talk about what they do or think from a similar perspective.

I was actually surprised at how many people I found who felt the same way I do about certain
topics.

One might say that I have a bad opinion about a lot of things, but I don't see it that way.

I have a lot of empathy for people, and I understand where they're coming from.

I am learning more and more about how my brain works, and what makes me tick.

Maybe I'm a psychopath, but it's okay.

I'm on the path to becoming the kind of person I want to be, and I can be whatever I want to be.

As you might guess from reading my posts, I am fascinated by how my brain works, and how I
think.

My general outlook is that everyone is better off when they're happy, and there is no easy way
to be happy, but there are ways to be happy, and happiness is all in how you look at things.

I've been thinking a lot about how everyone comes to the conclusions they do.

I also feel like everyone's life is a journey, and not everyone starts out at the same place, but at
the same time.
There are no set destinations on the path, but rather we are learning about ourselves, and
changing ourselves.

I believe that we're always making progress and gaining knowledge, but the journey is what
makes us who we are.

I said something to the effect of, "Your soul is a map, but I don't think you can know where your
soul is until you can take that map and put it on a map.

Then, you can look at it and see that you're on this map, and you can go see where you want to
go next.

Every step on the journey affects where you are and what you'll see when you get there."

I think we are all making decisions on a daily basis that affect us, but most of those decisions
are really small, and it's the actions we take within that small amount of space that are the most
significant.

For example, a decision like what shirt to wear might seem insignificant, but if you eat a whole
box of macaroni and cheese, and that ruins your diet for the rest of the day, it's not insignificant.

It affects how you feel about yourself.

If I spend an entire day being completely consumed with what I'm doing, and not thinking about
what I'm doing, what I'm feeling, or how I'm feeling, it affects me.

If I make a bad decision, my mood isn't destroyed if it's insignificant.

I'm still going to have a bad mood because I don't feel good, but my mood won't feel as bad as it
would if I make a more significant decision.

For example, if I eat some bad food, and it makes me feel bad, but it's not something that will
make me feel bad forever, then it's okay to feel bad.

It won't feel as bad if I decide to take a walk or clean the house.

You're going to feel bad even if it's only for a few minutes, because you don't want to feel bad.

However, if you eat some of those delicious, fatty foods that your body doesn't like, and you
consume a lot of calories, you will feel like crap, and it will be very easy to tell yourself that
you're worthless, and that you can't do anything.

I don't recommend eating those foods.

I think you're better off making sure you're eating foods that won't ruin your day, and if you want
to eat those foods, just make sure you take a walk afterwards.

Everyone has their own responsibilities, and their own things that need to be done.

If you don't have your health, and you're not taking care of yourself, you'll be in a bad mood, and
you won't be able to think about much else.

You won't be able to make good decisions, because you won't be in good physical and mental
health.
I know this is a little outside the box of what people usually talk about when they talk about
happiness, but if you keep the "map" in mind, it will help you decide what things you're going to
do on a daily basis, and the things you're going to change on a daily basis.

It will keep you from taking risks on an entire day because you're going to feel horrible.

I know this sounds like a really bizarre way to decide what to do, but if you think about it, it's
really not that weird.

By keeping your goals in mind, you're going to be happy no matter what you decide to do.

You're not going to waste time on anything that isn't going to make you happy.

You'll have a lot more time to devote to something that you think is going to make you happy.
