It is often said that power corrupts (and absolute power corrupts absolutely), but it would be more accurate to observe that all people have the capacity for corruption, which results from selfishness, a trait with which we are endowed by our Biology. When corrupt people become powerful, their corruption has greater consequences than the corruption of the less powerful, and therefore is more noticeable.

You might say that the pressure of Darwinian evolution is not toward moral and well behaved people, but toward people who will survive and reproduce by whatever means they believe is necessary. For some people this involves corruption and evil.
