languor

You wonder about languor and island time culture colliding with cold, precise machines...

--Thus soothed at home, thus busy in the field, To no perverse suspicion he gave way, No languor, peevishness, nor vain complaint: And they, who were about him, did not fail In reverence, or in courtesy; they prized His gentle manners: and his peaceful smiles, The gleams of his slow-varying countenance, Were met with answering sympathy and love.

Examples of how a psychopath can profit where an empath would languor, with neither side doing anything illegal:- Alter a contract to improve your situation at the expense of the other party- Always take advantage of discount offers that are clearly loss-leaders, such as gift cards on sale at a grocery store, without buying anything else but the cards- Eat at the soup kitchen instead of buying your own food- Tip low- Exclusively buy property at foreclosure sales- Either claim credit or ensure that people are more willing to assign credit, especially when promotions are on the line- Look for connected people to make friends with, even though they are slimy weasels and you don't like them
