If truth matters (and it does), it "helps" to look at everything as it truly is, and as per a consistently Christian worldview, that includes the total depravity of man--a reality rooted in the Fall of humanity as recorded in Genesis 3. The "total" in total depravity means that all aspects of man have been affected by sin (e.g., the mind, will, etc.) and not that man is as bad as he could potentially be. The gracious, restraining hand of God prevents the latter, and hence, you're not inclined to murder all of those around you right now; you might even wish to do them well.
