One thing that interests me about human nature is that EVERYONE tries to be a good person. There dont seem to be any exceptions to this.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying everyone IS a good person. Only that everyone tries to convince themselves that that their morality is good.
Even serial killers often claim they were doing "gods work" as if somehow murdering innocent people is a good thing.
I think it is in this quality that there is the most hope for humans, even when we loose our way. The fact that everyone, no matter how disturbed they are, is always looking towards a moral compass, even if that compass is broken.

Nobody is the bad guy themselves. We all come up with a narrative that justifies our actions, usually by blaming others for things we would normally consider mis-deeds. Some of the current theory of the human mind backs this up. I recently read an interesting book: The Mind Is Flat by Nick Chater which is a good intro to some of the current ideas.
