Yogis Or Psychopaths Poem by Saiom Shriver

Robert Hare's study
concludes that psychopaths'
brain scans show they
do not respond with emotion
to emotionally laden words
the way the normal public does.

But this study fails to consider
yogis who respond equally to
pleasure and pain, without
emotion to either as they
are established in equanimity.

Most of the following of Robert Hare's psychopathy checklist are from http: //www.decision-making-confidence.com/hare-psychopathy-checklist.html
