Sh*t happens. Blame karma if you want but it will still happen. Starving children in Africa didn't do anything to deserve their horrible "karma". If our fates and happiness are affected by karma, it is an unbalanced random karma, not "eye for an eye" karma.

Are you talking about the most clinically insane, psychopathic killers? You understand that these folks make up a very small percentage of our population, right?

Assuming we leave out all the Jesus' and all the Judas' in our world, I would say the great majority of humans who engage in harmful acts do experience some sort of an inner conflict. When you begin to incorporate all of the outliers, then you are truly broadening the scope of "human nature" to actions most could never imagine doing.
