darkness in humanity

My bro interviewed me for his English assignment on the theme of 'darkness in humanity'.

Question: Why do good people sometimes do terrible things?

Response: The idea of a 'good person' is a myth, an illusion. People, no matter how nice they may seem, inherently hold bad thoughts, and all it takes is the right environmental situation and a little bit of coaxing to bring out those actions.

We both stood silently for a moment. My brother slowly nodded in agreement.

Then we played some Halo 4.
