Kind of reminds me of the last episode of “The Sopranos”. In the last episode Mob boss Tony’s shrink finally realised that his affection for pets and children was his way of convincing others, and possibly himself that he was not that bad a guy. She evetually saw through that.

Incidently if you take Hitler, I believe there is lots of footage of him playing with dogs at his mountain top retereat and of him playing and joking with the Goebbels children. He almost looks grandfatherly.

Some weak willed people who have no moral compace think that to be evil you have to be literally foaming at the mouth all the time and live in a big castle.

“If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committeing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?”
