Human Behaviour

Sociopaths are not born, they are made. Our environment dictates to all of us how we behave, and no one experiences the same environment. Every individual's environment is unique to only them. There once were two brothers who appeared to be living, side by side, together within the very same environment, the same house, the same neighborhood, the same "loving" parents, all were a part of the two brothers' environment as they were growing. One went on to become a successful businessman, the other spent most of his life in prison. How could two brothers raised in the so called same environment, both end up so distinctively different? Answer; Neither of them matured in the same environment. One brother was favored more than the other one, by their well meaning but ignorant loving parents. "Your brother can go to the movies and have some fun, but you can't because you never get any of your homework done," and then when favored brother leaves for the movies, he falls down the stairs, while less favored brother smiles from ear to ear. Less favored brother isn't bad, he feels mistreated unfairly, breeding resentment towards his brother in a manner very unhealthy. One went on to become a successful businessman, while the other went on to live a life in prison, because both experienced two environments very different, which dictated the behaviour of both of them.
