Disagreed! Some people are evil for the sake of evil. Others are evil due to insanity and not knwoing the difference between good and evil. Some people are bad without any regard to good at all.

I very much doubt the first part of your proposition. People are evil for the sake of power, or pleasure, or some other good. Never just for the sake of evil. It's impossible to be morally evil through insanity, since the truly insane don't have any choice in the matter.
