For instance, two evil characters might share a similar, evil belief system ("No one's well-being matters but my own!"), but the fact that those beliefs are shared doesn't mean that they are more likely to cooperate - quite the opposite, in fact! Good characters tend to hold to beliefs that thrive on cooperation and trust, while evil characters tend to hold beliefs that thrive on selfishness, malicious deception, and distrust.It's not useful to speak in absolute terms like that. On balance, good-aligned characters will be less likely to clash (especially clash violently) when their goals are mismatched, and they are less likely to find their goals mismatched when their beliefs align.</blockquote>
