13. Bad things humans do can have several reasons.

Mental illness is just one.

People on drugs or alcohol can be another.

Bad upbringing can be another, living in a bad family.

We have a guy in jail here in Sheboygan, the guy is 61, and he used to watch the obituaries and then break in to houses vacated after someone died.
He's obviously greedy, and no doubt lazy also.

The point is there is no supernatural reason for humans acting like this.
