Most people do NOT consistently act in such a way at all. |
When it comes to personal philosophies, motivation, politics and general viewpoint on "how things should be done" ... yes. I believe even the most horrid of people think they're behaving "correctly" according to their own views on right/wrong. Do I need to name dictators? Do they not fall under your (or the common) definition of "people of conscience" if they believe their own rhetoric?
That's what I mean by my "every human ever" comment. When it comes to big picture items, nobody consistently acts in a manner contrary to their beliefs--from saint to the most hate-filled supremacist (and everyone in between).
