surprise factor, not the overall human pathology. Frankly, I think humans have just as great a capacity and track record of "goodness," but history doesn't record those with the same gusto. Organizations to help the poor, sick, and the elderly have existed since the earliest of recorded history, but they're not as well known as the famous battles. The history of medicine, as opposed to that of war, is far less reported, discussed, studied.
Since it is far easier to destroy than create, obviously the scale is tipped toward the positive.
