Living on this planet is not fun.

Hoarding assets, killing others, cruelty may serve short term survival value.
Long term survival entails cooperation and sharing.

So perhaps there is ancient brain wiring loading on cruelty and greed.
Which is easily activated by deprivation or indoctrination.

The point of rule of law, Ten Commandments, etc etc is to get humans to function at a higher level.
Humans keep trying to evolve, but have many set backs.

It is the age old battle between good and evil.
Ongoing and constant.
