I have known people who have been spiteful, thoughtless, self absorbed, unable to control what they say or do. I have also known people who have deliberately stirred up trouble for others, even bullied. Fortunately I have know only a very few who I would say were malicious.
All humans have failings - none are perfect - I don't believe in Saints. But on the whole I do think that most people, on balance, are essentially good.
That makes the people who are malicious stand out from the crowd, & not in a good way.
Personally I would count Donald Trump as malicious & am dreading his possible election as President of the USA tomorrow. There have been, and still are, many leaders who have abused power & amassed ridiculous amounts of money.
We need to recognise malice & evil intent & find a way to deal effectively with it. Currently we aren't doing a very good job.
