"Understanding Mahatma Gandhi..............

Just short of a sexual Psychopath.....

In male sexual psychopaths within this capacity, there is a preoccupation with sexual deviance, sex crimes and promiscuity. Within a heterosexual domestic violence relationship their female victim may slowly lose who she is, feeling pushed and made to engage in situations she may find risky, illegal or dangerous. These situations may include, fetish, group sex and humiliating rituals where the victim may be defecated or spat on, sexual or other torture, and being socially isolated from those who are close to the victim by being encouraged to only socialise with his friends. The sexual psychopath is ultimately looking for better and better highs or levels of gratification which serves his sense of grandiosity and supports his lack of respect for the law or for those who may be vulnerable in the community such as children, disabled people or older adults. This behaviour also highlights his inability for intimacy in a healthy relationship.

There are many psychopaths among us - friends, family members, partners, neighbours and colleagues and it is significant to remind ourselves of the traits which psychopaths have in order to develop an awareness that will protect us from becoming victims as once the psychopath has made you his victim your life will very quickly start to fall apart as he convinces your friends and family that you are the one who is in the wrong, and he is merely trying his best to support and help you. This is an incredibly dangerous situation to be in, but if you survive you will never trust again but you are damn lucky to be in one piece."

However if we look back in time and see our social, cultural and religious perversions, then it would be hyppocritic to only blame Mahatma Gandhi. Our religious writings (I will not delve into these so as not to hurt religious sentiment) plus old ideas, art and craft like the Sun Temple of Konark, The carvings of Khajurao all point to a highly predatory and promiscuous past. Even today we can see the vestigial remains of this culture in the sexual molestation and rape cases that abound in India. We see starkly that this perverse streak runs right through the poorest to the richest of this society.

The point here is for all of us to learn from our past and try to engineer a better and more healthier future for the coming generation. I am not a psychologist so I cannot comment on the shared article. However I do feel and see the rumbles of this nascent predatory behaviour where I teach in a University. All under the guise of the "In thing", don't be "a square", "Its fun" and many etc etc......

The shared letter is an excerpt from a collection of Gandhi’s letters which have been compiled into a book titled “Mahatma Gandhi’s Letters on Brahmacharya, Sexuality and Love” by Girja Kumar (Vitasta Publishing, 2011).
