I like to think that nobody is truly evil or malevolent; some people might place less emphasis on morality in their decision-making processes than others, but I believe that it is always a factor that is duly considered and only acted against in light of the most prudent of their judgement. Rather, it is the circumstances in which people find themselves that compel them to make choices that seem justified to them, but perhaps not others. What outsiders might perceive as errors of judgement or even direct antagonisation might just be the best or only viable course of action for someone, all things considered.
The problem is that other people might not think the same way I do, and in the end people get despised not for who they are, but for the characters they have to play as; blamed for the decisions that are hard to follow through with but have to be made in the face of the situation.
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players
