In many ways, the sociopath puts up a good front and many have felt they have an enviable position in not having a conscience to hinder them and make them suffer. They seem to have great power because they can be ruthless and do so without fear. They simply are unconcerned about consequences because they do not value others or what they think and feel and will minimize the importance and degree to which others suffer because they simply cannot relate through their feelings in lacking compassion which is a love-based emotion, but behind the facade is an empty person.
You were created from love, through love, and by love, and without it you are an empty shell, a kind of surface reflection of divine possibility but without the divinity. It is like the label on a can of soup when what matters is the contents. The dark beings and the sociopaths in being loveless are empty inside. While they do not care about others, they do care about themselves and they are suffering from a self-imposed disconnection. They do not appreciate love because they cannot feel it and cannot give it a name and a description and do not yearn for it because it is not within their experience to feel or understand, but they do appreciate the fact that they are isolated and it is an unnatural state of being and is a dilemma for their soul and it will not be possible for them to satisfy soul yearnings for something more. So they will experience a great inner disquiet because they can sense the emptiness that is their being and their life.
There is an array of potential options these sociopaths turn to in an attempt to fill the gap. Some are relatively benign, others more consequential and devastating both to others and to the self. When love is not an option, the interchange with other people will involve another kind of currency and this will most often be an expression of power and control, dominance and subjugation to some degree or another because it is the only way to gain some inner security for the self. If one can dominate and suppress others, it will make them feel secure, it will make them feel accomplished, and therefore more whole because they seem to be fulfilling a purpose of great importance and demonstrating their worth using the yardstick of power and influence.
So all of this of course is non-divine and a false way of seeing the world. Because they lack love and the ability to feel love, they will never be truly happy. If they seek power as an answer, this will backfire at some point and they will end up suffering in the end. Even if they do not directly harm others in the acquisition of the power they seek in whatever form they use to rank their success, as in the acquisition of money, the greater their presumed achievements, the greater will be the separation from others it will bring about. This is the truism that "It is lonely at the top." The best of friendships and love relationships are conducted among equals. It is much more difficult when a relationship is unbalanced by one person having much more than another in some respect, whether looks, intelligence, or good fortune to be financially successful.
