Hmmm, I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you there. For one, I'm not much of a believer in the existence of pure good or pure evil. I think there are good people who are capable of evil things and vice versa and every shade in between. But beyond that, I really don't think that the only reason evil acts are committed is because good people allow it to happen. Evil acts will happen no matter what. They just will. Bottom line. Period. You can't "wipe it out." And frequently I consider the "wiping out" to be just as evil as whatever deed supposedly justified the wiping out in the first place. But that's my two cents, and I understand that a lot of people believe differently.

Deeper like what? Those were the main ones I could think of.
Deeper than being alone or jsut running out of steam to kill... How about the need to be a person again? Maybe his spirit needed to be repunished or forgiven? Maybe the low road was the wrong path for him so he decided to take teh Higher road to inlightenment...I could go on...
Well, to use a quote from the movie Tome Stone, "Why put off killen a guy to day that your just going to have to kill tomorrow." From Air Force One, "Peace is not the Absence of War but the presence of Justice."
How about this vamp quotes...Interview with a Vampire:
Lestat - Evil is a point of view. God kills indiscriminately, and so shall we. For no creatures under God are as we are, none so like Him as ourselves.
Evildoers are easier, and they taste better.
Have you heard enough? I've had to listen to that for centuries.
