I think a better question would be, what is at the heart of wickedness? Satan is just one of many who are wicked, although he is proported to be the most powerful of the wicked.
When I peer into the heart of a wicked soul, what do I see? I see darkness. I see someone who is consumed with themselves and pleasuring themselves even at the expense of others. I see someone who is tormented inside, because they are miserable in such a state. They then naturally try to make others just as miserable. As the saying goes, misery loves company.
Conversely, those who are happy seem to want to make others happy. It is simply a natural reaction. Those that I see that are truly happy place their wealth in relationships with loved ones. Their pleasure comes from blessing those that they love and seeing them blessed, even at the expense of their own pleasures. At their core, they have peace, because they realize the purpose that they exist. They have have figured it out, that is, the meaning of life.
I guess my question is, where is the line between insanity, stupidity, and wickedness? All three states seem to lack an underlying common sense.
