Just imagine what you would do if you did not care to take into account the lives of other people when making your decisions. Imagine if you did not care if *anyone* lived or died and considered *everyone* as tools to be used to push your own ambitions.
Pretend your ambitions were to become wealthy/wealthier, have someone around willing to sleep with you and occasionally comfort you and help give you children who are the closest thing to immortality that we have, currently.
Just think of it as a mental game and wrap your head around that kind of thought process. You'll find that you understand the actions of many people much better, especially when you take into account that most people aren't that extreme, or even nearly that extreme, but there are definitely many who are.
Now, remember that understanding doesn't mean acceptance and force your self not to accept that ideology and do your best to fight the actions of those who do accept it.
