A psychopath is not corrupted but sick...that's a big difference.

Maybe your are both (a psychopath and corrupt) but for one of those points you aren't responsible (the sickness NOT the possible actions).



Please keep your diagnosis to yourself - it will benefit you and those who love you.

I have never met anybody else who was wealthy or powerful deny that temptation is there - historic literature is rife with the same sentiment.


You understand what maybe means?

BTW you are borderline:

It's the opposite, psychopath are attracted by power.

Your Answer:

>I recognize in myself that power corrupts me. For example, now that I’m rich - I don’t see the poor as being equal to me.

I'm rich others are poor, right out of consent just to tell others your are rich (show your power) but actually not a bad person (manipulate).

then:

>Please keep your diagnosis to yourself - it will benefit you and those who love you.

"Please keep your diagnosis to yourself - it will benefit you and" again a threat or show your power "those who love you" but i am actually not a bad person, that ticktok from threat to manipulation is the exact pattern of a psychopath.

>I have never met anybody else who was wealthy or powerful deny that temptation is there - historic literature is rife with the same sentiment.

No one said anything against that. And again "never met anybody else who was wealthy or powerful deny that temptation is there" i know lots of powerful people. "historic literature is rife with the same sentiment" i am so powerful i should compare myself to historic literature.
