Some people do, some don't. The why has been puzzling sociolgists, and providing them with reasons to think and work, for a long time.

I can agree with that. While most of the time I strive towards the greater good and always try to do the right thing... I think because of my upbringing I have very little problem doing the wrong things to get the right thing done. I have no qualms about stooping down and landing blows below the belt or fighting dirty. I aint afraid to get my hands dirty because I done did my time in the dirt and I know that it washes off.
I think about that some times. What makes people born in to good situations go bad, and what makes folk born in to bad situations turn out good. Are people intrinsically good or evil deep down inside and is there nothing that can be done to change that? And if so, are people who are intrinsically good down inside but do bad things to achieve good results or vise versa, people who do good things but bring about evil results just a product of both their nature and their nurture? Been thinking about that a lot lately. Go outside, sit on the bench, and watch the flowers growing. And just think when I get the chance.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
