I have always been interested in psychopaths and serial killers, I think learning about them offers a valuable insight into the darker areas of the human mind. But they're mainly so interesting because they are different to the vast, vast majority of people, and because they represent such a break from normality. However, I think it's always worth remembering that psychopaths are as they are because they lack humanity's most interesting trait: our complex and deeply nuanced sense of compassion. While learning about psychopaths gives you a fascinating insight into the human condition, psychopaths themselves are essentially far less incredible creatures than normal, compassionate people. Other animals are compassionate, some very compassionate, but how deeply complex and dynamic human compassion is is surely the most interesting thing about us. Being able to kill cold-bloodedly just shows a lack of something. Millions of relatively very simple animals kill cold-bloodedly all the time. True altruism is what is most genuinely fascinating about humans, because of how sophisticated it is.

Do you reckon a psychopath ever looks at groups of people who love each other and feels jealous?

Are you jealous of pigs when they play in their own filth? Emotions just simply aren't worth the hassle associated with them.
Communicated clearly enough your needs and desires should be simple enough to understand, nuanced body language and changes in intonation in voice are ridiculous for people on the spectrum to grasp, therefore why attempt to?
I don't think they are missing out, they are benefiting from not having to be in a world where peoples emotions are the ruling factor. When people say one thing and mean something else entirely, it's exhausting.

But without emotions life isn't worth living. Life without emotions is like bath without water.

Are you reasonably prepared to start a discussion on what exactly "emotions" are? Because I suspect you have a preconceived notion of sorts sitting in the back of your head that you're unwilling to let go.

Sure. But not for the same reasons a normal person gets jealous. When you or I get jealous of say, a friend's bew car we feel like we a worth less, or "why him and not me?" But we don't always feel like we deserve his car more, because he is beneath us.
A psychopath gets jealous and usually feels like he DOES deserve the car more, like the owner is less than him, and so on.
Psychopaths do have enotions, but they are very basic. Have you seen American Psycho? Because the way he acts is pretty accurate in terms of jealousy (the business card scene).
