Take it from me, it's no fun being the opposite either. My ability to hurt or manipulate people is inextricably linked to my understanding of them, and therefore my compassion and my conscience. I can't even enjoy righteously *wanting* to do it. Avoidance of negative consequences is a perfectly reasonable, human reason not to do 'bad' things.
