what would you consider the principle reason people commit evil acts

I'd say power is #1, but it's close.
Selfishness is up there. The person who drives like a slalom skiier on the highway causes a pileup. Can you really call it an accident? I say the person meant to do it.
Of course religion plays a part.
There's the social aspect of it too. The sick person who can't afford their treatment. The person who has hit financial rock bottom.
For some, it's almost hereditary. Violence often begets violence.
