Do unscrupulous people realize what they're doing?
This woman that I work with seems to have a little crush on me and the other day she was telling me about her life and I got the feeling that she was trying to impress me. I got the feeling that she's hurt because I pretty much always ignore her.

She's gorgeous and nice but I have reasons for ignoring her...

1. She brags about how she lies to her husband.

2. She's known for lying to customers.

I ignore this woman because I know someone that unscrupulous will think nothing of lying to me or using me and thus hurting me in the future.

But, she would never think of that in a million years and I can't explain that to her...

Do unscrupulous people realize what they're doing?

I think they often block out the evil they do and concentrate on the good so they don't even realize they're evil and they're hurting people.

It's like positive thinking, concentrate on the positive and don't pay attention to the negative. That's a recipe for disaster because if you do that you won't be able to improve your shortcomings because you won't SEE your shortcomings.

Now I actually feel guilty about ignoring this woman because I feel I'm causing her pain...

she'll never ever know why, I have to defend myself from the pain she'd cause me if I got to know her better.

I guess you didn't read my post. I have to stay away from her completely because I'd be risking my vitality otherwise.

Second, I'm a moral person and we're both married.

Ive known a few people who seem to think the world revolves around them, then become angy and upset when they don't get the attention they seem to think they deserve.

Re: Do unscrupulous people realize what they're doing?
People can do whatever they think is positive as long as they see it as positive

If for instance I'm a Bully I'm not going to focus on the kid I'm hurting I'm going to focus I'm the fun I'm having and the money I'm getting

In a grander sense If they see a holy war as a positive I'm not going to focus on wow I'm killing people, they will focus on doing it for gratification from god because they are doing what they are told and they have a reward

Psychology is insane

Re: Do unscrupulous people realize what they're doing?
in response to your title only, and not your entry - it depends on the unscrupulous person.

1. No (rare): some are oblivious to moral standards.
2. Yes (common): some are contemptuous of moral standards.

 Quoting: Disaster Man

I know a large portion of this board thinks there's no such thing as evil.

Evil is anything that hurts YOU.

Telling lies hurts your credibility and/or reputation eventually.

Hurting the innocent destroys your soul.

Greed/lust/gluttony/wrath etc. destroys your soul.

A smoker destroys themselves and therefore does great evil.

I think some claim that there's no such thing as evil because they're soulless. They've sold/lost/never developed their souls so they can not see what evil is.

Someone without a soul has no soul to destroy and therefore does not know what it means to destroy their soul.

Those of us with a conscience know what destroying our own souls means and therefore we know what evil is.

(1) Amazing, a person with a real brain...you worked that out, most don't :)

(2) No need for guilt, as you did nothing wrong, so stop it.

(3) It's up to her to find out why, and not your business to tell her, or you will pay the price for "enlightening" her.
Pain comes from ignorance, and that's her own cart to push. She filled it up and made it heavier, so it's not yours to sort out. Lighten your own load by not adding other people's bullshit to your cart.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 900112


Evil is the choice exercised when harm is done to anything. It has many forms, but all come from the same dark hole where no reason abides.

There is no such a thing as a "soul", as that is just a religious idea with no substance at all. We are spiritual beings (energy) with a physical body, with a mind that is either controlled by the beast within us, or by some degree of humanity.
If you don't work at improving your mind, you will never be a full human, which is the best anyone can aspire to.
