Not every person has the capacity for evil within them. Most people are not sociopaths.

but it's not that people are "angels" or "sociopaths" in a bloack/white way. Much of what we call "evil" is just selfishness, the kind that occurs almost naturally in young children, who need to be taught to share. Most learn it easily, some not so much. Some never learn it, or were never taught it.

Evrybody has a "bad" side. Maybe not Charles Manson bad, but enough to cut somebody off in traffic, or rudely barge into an elevator with no regard to others. "Good" people work to curb those instincts.
