Wenn der Mythos vom reinen Bösen besagt, dass das Böse mit der Absicht begangen wird, Schaden zu verursachen und keine moralischen Überlegungen anzustellen, gilt dies für sehr wenige Taten des sogenannten "reinen Bösen", da die meisten Übeltäter glauben, dass das, was sie tun, verzeihlich ist gerechtfertigt.
