Of course I have no idea what is the percentage of "evildoers" that try to justify their wrongdoings with some rationale of their own. However, it seems to me that it is an important majority. For example, thrice in my life I have been victim of aggression in the street. What's interesting, is that each time the perpetrators felt the need to come up with an absurd excuse that they told me to explain me that they were totally justified to attack me (in none of these case it was to steal money, always to have some kind of fun it seems). In fact, the third time I recognized the pattern and stroke the guy before he finished his idiotic tale (then ran away  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" /> ). Most of the time, robbers, crooks, and unfair economic competitors will claim that this is the so-called "Life's Jungle's Law" and what they do is only natural, or they are avenging some wrong they suffered, or whatever. Now despite I don't know any criminal, it seems to me that all of them try to find a justification. For example, the "Cosa Nostra", what's this if not a justification on purely criminal doings? Well, I lack example at this time, but I am sure many of you have some to recount here. So what do you think? Are there some people who steal from someone in the street as naturally as I get a coconut on the desert island's tree?</blockquote>
