At the deepest core, humans are seflish and arrogant. This means that humans are evil at the core.
The purpose of laws is to limit behavior so as to not infringe on other people's rights. One of the functions of religion is to present a means to overcome one's own evil core.
All of us struggle throughout our entire life to overcome our evil core. Some of us are more successful in this than others and it seems to me that some people don't try. Most of us will be successful in some areas and failures in other areas of our nature but it is the trying that gives pleasure and promise to life.
Absolute success in overcoming our basic nature is not possible. Improving is very achievable.
