Although warped and distorted, the world so perceived makes its demands upon men and women. An older tradition called this plausibility the temptation of evil. Immoral behavior usually presents itself as world-compliant rather than defiant. No one is so much the scoundrel as not to think of his or her behavior as justified, as conforming to the world as it is. The man who hates believes that there are enemies out there to be hated. The greedy man thinks that his avarice is necessary because he has bills to pay, and a future to make secure. The ruthless believe that, except for their aggressiveness, the world would engulf them; it defeats the weak. Immoral behavior is tempting because it seems the most reasonable response to the vision of the world which vice itself presents." [William F.
