I guess I am what others would consider cynical about human nature. I would call it realistic. I think that men are prone to abuse the power for sex and money if they can get away with it. Rawat was in such a situation that he could get away with it. Besides Rawat degenerated by the unhealthy guru-disciple relationship. For those two reasons, I think that anti-social behavior by Rawat is no proof and hardly an indication that he has a personality disorder. And I think that former followers who have been harmed and betrayed by him are likely to see him as more evil than he really is. That is just natural. Oh, and I am certain that more men would be tempted in Rawat's situation to abuse their power to obtain sex and money, not just me.
