In my opinion, most people don't naturally want to be good. It's normal to be selfish and care for yourself. It can be very hard to care about others. In "The Most Dangerous Game," General Zaroff cares only about himself and his own pleasure instead of the lives of human beings that he takes. In "The Cask of Amantillado," Montresors is so selfish. He cares so much about himself and his feelings that he traps his "friend" in a cask underneath the ground.
The same applies in real life. Most people are selfish and don't care about others. However, some people do care enough about others. For example, I got in trouble last year in school, and my "friend," who was a year younger than me, was at fault, not me. But because she was younger, and had so much to look foreward to, I took the whole punishment and didn't blame her.
