¨Kayla replied, ´And we---or the p-zeds, at any rate---copy indiscriminately, without reflection. And if the person they´re coyping is a psychopath, then their behavior ends up being de facto psychopathic, too.´ ¨

About This Quote

Psychopaths, sociopaths and even the mentally ill do not think about the consequences of their actions on others. They do not reflect upon their actions and only want to satisfy themselves. Psychopaths do not care about the welfare of others and will go out of their way to do whatever it takes for them to get what they want. The above quote shows how psychopathic behavior is a product of copying without reflection.

Psychopaths are not capable of understanding the consequences of their behavior and will copy it indiscriminately until they get in trouble. Psychopaths copy without reflection because they lack a conscience and a moral compass.
