Dostoevsky on the perpetual victim to villain pipeline

Some of the worst villains in real life and history started as people who believed they were victims. Dostoevsky highlights this in Brothers Karamazov and he shows how that happens. He shows something disturbing about human nature. A lot of evil doesn't start with monsters. It starts with wounded people that feel justified. People who suffered, have been humiliated and wronged, and slowly take that and turn pain into a sort of belief. One of the characters in the novel grows up neglected, humiliated, all these things. He feels like the world has cheated him and he eventually reaches a conclusion that Dostoevsky finds disturbing and dangerous. If the world is unjust, justice doesn't matter. Dostoevsky believes this is how evil forms, through resentment that slowly becomes moral permission. First they feel like a victim, then they feel entitled, then the belief comes of being justified in the actions. It's scary because we see this psychology everywhere in the cultural consciousness now, especially on this app. The moment someone believes their suffering gives them moral authority, the line between victim and villain disappears. Dostoevsky's warning is actually quite simple. Pain can make you compassionate, but if you're not careful, it can also make you cruel. Where do you think the line lies between valid pain and using it as a moral justification? Do you think resentment creates evil or do you think it just reveals it?
