People of the Lie is a nonfiction book by M. Scott Peck
Peck is family psychotherapist, best known for his book "The Road Less Traveled".
In "People of the Lie", Peck defines "evil" as a category of mental disorder.
The key qualities:
- Evil hides itself
- Evil blames the world for its own faults
- The wrongs that evil secretly does, it openly attributes to others.
Evil people lie as a way of life
They dissemble— pretend to be something they are not, in order to gain advantage
They project their own unacceptable behavior onto others— the secret pedophile shouts "Pedophiles!" at the world
As I have said before: what people fear, they accuse others of doing. The evil person does this to an extreme degree.
