An issue that has always intrigued me.
In my opinion, this is a highly complex one with many layers to it.
One must understand the human in it's totality before understanding the context of a psychopath.
Many layers to an individual: celestial, anatomical, chemical, biological, ancestral, sexual, physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, environmental, cultural, and societal. All of them operate interdepently of one another. All play a role. Must understand this.
Asking a psychopath for remorse is equivalent to asking a diabetic to produce insulin or one whom suffers from mental retardation to explain quantum physics.
It's an absurdity. What we can do is address it differently: both personally & collectively.
We must delve deeply into causes/dynamics that led to this particular outcome rather than just the outcome and then apply some arbitrary expectation we have.
We don't look to a plant whose buds never bloomed, wilted, and shrouded with weeds & ask why it's not as fragrant or as vibrant as another? No, we look to source. The Sun, Moon, Earth, Soil, Light, Darkness, Proper Nurtrion, etc. for the answers. We must also understand there are many roses in the garden and to appreciate the intrinsic beauty & value of all.
Just because a being may be "defective" in a certain way does not negate that beings value to humanity, society, or the universe. Just because a being may not be able to "feel/emote" doesn't mean they can't connect to a higher power or find another means to identify with the universe.
This is never to say said actions or being is acceptable. However, through understanding we can find a way to heal, unify, and evolve.
