Summary

People may engage in unkind or harmful actions that progressively intensify as they become more comfortable with their wicked nature. It highlights the notion that wickedness is not inherent in human beings but rather acquired through experience and circumstance, ultimately implying that there is a system or pattern behind the emergence of wickedness in individuals.
