Ones that have affairs with married people as a way to see if they can get them interested as some sort of victory/power game or “ha i got a hooked person interested in me, I’m so hot”.
a person that would allow things like rape happen or any wrong doing to happen without taking action because hey there’s nothing wrong with it. They feel not the slightest bit of empathy.
Ones that play around with people’s lives for fun and see nothing wrong with it.
Married people that have affairs because they think fidelity is over rated.
Ones that hurt others without really seeing the damage they do to those people.
It’s sad to see that they are allowed to live a happy life as if nothing wrong has been done.
Ones that would do things that are clearly wrong and shocking to others but would still do them without feeling remorse.
People that talk to others in a condescending, “You’re an idiot and worthless, if you can’t understand or do this, I can” sort of way.
I’ve seen people do all these things. I just want to know that in some way they will get what’s coming to them and feel repentance or remorse.
Some of the flaws you have laid out - no pun intended - are simply human frailties. The ones with conscience regret it. The ones without don’t give a damn.
How can you be so sure? Having a conscience means that person has feelings experiences emotions. One of these people that is like this was rewarded by the almighty for his behavior, he now has a great job in a company that is one of the best in his particular field and soon will get married and have a great life. At what point does this person repent or feel remorse.
Why don’t you add someone considering killing their child for being born a certain gender? And those who sympathize with said men. I don’t know how anyone, esp a woman, can have sympathy or think this is in any way OK. Do you not have any empathy?
Its just me but what I have seen around me is that such folks are more successful in this world as compared to others. Those who are doing all sorts of nasty stuff are progressing, may be that’s how this world works.
almost everyone has a conscience (lack of conscience is defined as a sociopath), but its all about how one perceives their own actions, no one actually believes theyre a bad person, everyone has their own definitions for everything (i.e. no one actually thinks theyre not shareef even if they are most promisicous person or committing adultery or whatever)..people can justify anything and everything to themselves..so its not lack of conscience its more they justified their own behavior, have different definitions, and perceived their actions differently..but with life experiences come life lessons..it often takes years before a person actually feels remorse for their actions and by then its a bit too late for them to reconcile..often times its when they themselves go through a bad phase in life..everyone will inevitably face the tribulations of life at some point..but the more you try to explain to them that theyre doing wrong, the less they tend to acknowledge it, they’ll ignore it or likely get defensive because no one likes hearing criticism or others telling them theyre wrong, the self enlightenment needs to come on its own over time
None of them give a damn and me trying to do something abt it got me in trouble. It’s usually said that putting yourself in their shoes and seeing where they are coming from, thinking what caused them to take such actions or see others in such a way helps.
You’ve seen it too. How are you so sure that they will face the consequences in the hereafter, in this world i’m seeing all of them doing great, their successes have made them even more full of themselves. They’ve only been encouraged that their actions have no negative consequences.
Plus an atheist most likely wouldn’t think in this way. The whole concept of fear of the hereafter is for people that believe in the almighty.
I read ur OP again. Your thread is about people with no conscience. I agree with u. Such people wouod never acknowledge they are wrong. And they will lie to protect the 1st lie
And lie to protect 2nd lie.
Sometimes the lies catch up to them. Most times, the system is corrupt to such an extent such behavior is rewarded.
Not much you can do about it. Other than the following
if their lies were at the 3xpense of ur advancement, document it and expose their lies.
Do the same even if their lies were at some other persons expense.
3). You live ur life, after doing what you can to expose their lies. And don’t sweat it if they become the most successful persons.
Firaun was extremely “successful” in this world. He was a king, he had riches, slaves, everything he wanted and more. He killed babies without remorse and tortured and killed men, women and children. He was of the worst of oppressors. And Allah refers to him as a great loser. He was only successful in this life. However he will be a loser on the day of judgement.
People who do evil deeds with no remorse or regret those people may surely be successful in this world but they will be brought to account and will be the biggest of losers in the hereafter. So let them have their successes here, true success lies with Allah and is in the hereafter which is eternal. If atheists don’t agree with this then they don’t. This world isn’t perfect. Sometimes the bad guy wins. But for those who have faith, we leave it in the hands of Allah. Allah knows best.
esplaain this some more to me. I don’t want to assume. You tell me.
i won’t get all up on my high horse acting like God, i’m just trying to make sense of the madness around me hoping that moment of realization happens for them instead of me saying anything to them. The realization or change has to happen within themselves without me putting myself on the line.
I’ve put myself on the line before trying to bring about a change and I got myself in a dangerous situation. I need some sign something to tell me that they will pay for all the harm they’ve done. They are human, they were people I saw as having a good quality or two but their actions baffled me. No soul…I will not judge them negatively because it is not my place to be a judge, the almighty is the only one I give that power to.
I feel the same way sometimes, Op…that those who have are more carefree about their actions tend to have it easier in life whereas those who try to stay on the straight and narrow have it harder.
But it’s said that Allah tests us by giving us blessings and also by taking them away. You never know…perhaps the individual you mentioned above has been given a harder tests simply by having these blessings. I’ve heard that Allah gives us time to return to Him in repentance and that a person is more likely to be seized for their sins when he/she becomes so lost in the dunya that they forget their sins. And it’s better to receive the punishment in this world as opposed to having it reserved for the next world.
Among the actions you listed was speaking to others in a condescending tone. While it’s not right to do so, I don’t think this necessarily means that the person lacks a conscience. Some people are more sensitive than others and have a greater awareness of other people’s feelings. If it were so easy for our conscience to kick in when faced with a temptation and if it were easy for us to always follow our conscience…then I wonder if that would eliminate the nizaam or system of committing mistakes and repenting. Allah intended for us to be imperfect and weak and forgetful ..and that keeps us humble (or it should) …while at the same time endowing us with the potential to strive to be the best in character. It’s said that we have 3 types of souls or nafs within us…the nafs that calls toward every evil…the nafs that chides us ( conscience)…and the nafs that is content. The conscience is up against some very strong inner influences that call toward various vices. None of us is an angel, but if one even realizes their mistakes later on and repents to Allah and makes amends…then that awareness (even if it came later than sooner) is a blessing.
Don’t look for signs that they’ll pay for the damage they’ve incurred. I’ve felt that way before and it’s a frustrating place to be in. It’s emotionally draining. Live your life because you may never come to find out if divine justice was done. Don’t put your life on hold waiting for them to see the light. People who are in the habit of hurting others usually aren’t in a happy place on the inside even if it appears otherwise outwardly…and being in that wretched state where one’s heart is so hardened that they can’t even see their errors may even be a form of a punishment in and of itself. Also, a self-reflection may reveal some of our own mistakes even though the other person is more in the wrong. For example, sometimes we may have been too trusting of a person despite seeing/sensing warning signs…so that can be something to work on. Be grateful to Allah that you learned from their mistakes as opposed to following their ways; that hopefully (despite the pain) it made you a stronger and better person. That said, don’t dwell on looking for signs of karma; focus more on yourself and your life. It’s said that Allah doesn’t change a person’s condition unless they change themselves..hidayat is in His hands.
