...but all of this does not rob us of choice or absolve us of responsibility.

"A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

While I appreciate all the technical explanations for these labeled conditions, my suggestion for you would be to seek out people who have been so labeled and get to know them. This will answer your question far better than any non labeled person can hope to.

You are a fortunate person indeed, if you can begin each day accepting the fact that during that day there will be ups and downs, good breaks and bad ones, disappointments, surprises, and unexpected turns of events.

When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for death, for it is but another mystery of life.

No, but choices made with a complete absence of empathy, like Jeffrey Dahmer drilling holes in the brain of his victims with a Black & Decker in order to make sex slaves, is sociopathic and stupid ( in failing see as how infection and death would be swift).

One pithy summary was psychopaths feel bad for their deeds, sociopaths just don't give a fuck

Psychopath is the older form of sociopath. They are synonymous. Sociopath derives from Antisocial Personality Disorder.

Individuals suffering from Antisocial personality disorder generally have an underdeveloped superior posterior temporal sulcus and other abnormalities in their prefrontal cortex. The superior posterior temporal sulcus is the area of the brain responsible for processing social emotions (empathy, guilt, etc.)

As far as "what is...?" Look it up in the dictionary.

On a side note, I've been called a sociopath many a times by my father, but I'm inclined to say I have sociopathic tendencies rather than being an actual sociopath.
