Perhaps they were not good to begin with.

I mean, I don’t make or sell meth, although it would be both easy and profitable

Because the good obey the law and are affected by those who don’t.

For example, there is now strict security because of the evil. The good people (as well as everyone else) are affected even when they didn’t do anything wrong. This sometimes turn the good people to evil because they are angry with the restrictions others place on them even when they didn’t do anything wrong. This happens in plenty of situations, big or small (such as having silent study halls in school because ONE person was too loud). It’s a big cycle.

it’s totally situational have you ever heard of the “Stanford prison experiment” google for it it’s quite interesting…

I’ll sum it up in case you’re lazy….

they basically wanted to see if prisoners were inherently violent or if the way the prison was set up caused them to be violent. So they took a group of completely random people and randomly assigned them the position of prisoner or guard. They then placed them in a mock prison for a while. Sure enough the prison guards started getting quite violent with the prisoners etc…

look it up it’s quite an interesting look into human psychology. Also look into the experiment I forget what it’s called but it’s the one where they keep telling a guy to shock another guy for no reason and see how long he’ll do it for they make the shocker believe the shockee is dying but he keeps shocking him for no reason other than a man telling him it’s ok.

They say even the best of people have some evil in them. Every person has their own boiling point. I’ll be 70 in January and havent found my point yet. Hopefully I never will. I have to stay away from some people because I know what gets the water to boiling. I’ve always said if someone threatened a child of mine, I wouldnt be responsible for my actions. What’s your boiling point?

What makes good people go bad? Bad influence. The best man on Earth could end up killing his wife because of bad influences. Stuff like drugs can do it. That is what the law tries to prevent.

When something tragic happens to them, and they’re still doing what is right. And even though the “bad” people did wrong, it didn’t affect them. Sometimes it may be because, they think they will be able to gain more power to help others but then they may just forget about why they were trying for.

Just a few thoughts …

No one is perfect, and we all make mistakes sometimes. People can become overwhelmed by the tragedy of life, and do things without thinking or over-react to situations. Sometimes people are affected by their past, and do bad things because bad things happened to them.

Every one has a positive and negative side. When things in a person’s life don’t always go right even though the person did all things correctly, some may try a negative plan.

Many times it’s out of greed, fear, or weakness.. There are probably as many reasons as there are situations, but with all the new technology, the long hand of the law will catch them, sooner or later.
