I am, generally. But I am capable of great darkness, most men are. But what makes us good is the ability to control and deny that.
If it was your child that was gang raped by 7 men you can show them as much mercy as you'd like. Kill them quickly. If it were mine, I would let them experience a slow demise.
We will know what it is like to step over a thousand corpses, to do what must be done, yet remain good men.
This (to me) is being a good friend. Should a buddy's daughter suffer as that child suffered, of course the father would crave vengeance. But his friends, being good men, should see that justice is carried out swiftly and without revenge. In this way the father is spared from some of that darkness that - as you rightly point out - resides in all men.
This is natural law, which our laws have sorely forgotten.
