How To Be Truly Malicious

True malice requires one of the following:
  • intelligence - because you need to be an astute politician and strategist, a psychologist to manipulate your way to reach your goals. Being dumb doesn't typically lead to malice. Usually dumb people end up doing random things, some of them evil, but not by purpose.
  • emotion - feelings are basically the great equaliser. Even the most pious of men can go completely berserk when the right wrong buttons are pushed.
  • psychopathy - if your moral horizon is skewed opposed to the general public's you might not even believe you act maliciously. But you are.

So generally stupid people, calm people, empathic people don't typically spend their time finding the best way to bring you down.
