I would say love, but I think the absence of feeling is far more destructive. Just look at any psychopath/sociopath-- they literally can't feel emotion. That's why they almost always turn evil.

I would even think they would be model citizens because they don't have the emotions that would cause them to ignore the law.

From what I remember from psychology class, many psychopaths are able to assimilate to society with the proper help. I'm not saying every psychopath is a murderous, Hannibal Lecter-person-eating-maniac; I'm just saying more often than not psychopaths tend to perform acts that lack good character. By "evil" I don't necessarily mean breaking the law, but instead performing bad ethics, such as cheating on a significant other or ruthless politics/economics.* I am by no standards an expert on the psychology of psychopaths, but I know that because of their lack of emotion they can make decisions without compassion if it fits their needs and/or desires. [spoiler]*by ruthless I mean manipulating people or contracts in such a way that is not socially correct, but still legal.[/spoiler]
