Answer and Explanation:

According to the text, people do bad things to acquire, profit, pleasure, honor and other good and positive feelings, that put them in a comfortable position with themselves. According to the author, people do not do evil for evil, but do evil because they want to promote a good feeling in their souls, or to raise their status in some way.
