Best Answer

We human beings often fail to live up to our stated ideals. You can conceive of this in either religious or scientific terms, according to your personal preference. In religious terms, we are a fallen race, descended from Adam and Eve who ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil against the specific instructions of God, so now that we have knowledge of evil, we sometimes choose to be evil. In scientific terms, evolution has made us into a competitive species, and sometimes it appears that cruelty to our fellow human beings is a way to win the competition.
