Most people actually are good people. It's easy to forget that., because so often the bad people seem to be in charge. I don't know if being in charge turns them bad, or because they are particularly equipped to get in positions of power. A bit of both, I suspect.

As the verse puts it:
"The rain it raineth on the just
And also on the unjust fellas
But chiefly on the just, because
The unjust steal the just’s umbrellas.”
