I read many books about psychopaths and I think everyone should be aware of the fact that there are certain individuals out there without a conscience. The fact that they come off as charming makes them all the more dangerous.

Reading books about such individuals has made me aware that I'm going to run across one or two or maybe even more at some point in my life.
