Malignant narcissism

"At
 the more pathological end of the spectrum, we have what the 
psychoanalyst Otto Kernberg called malignant narcissism, the source of 
much “evil in the world”. Disappointed in reality, love turns inward, 
the self becomes idealised, doted upon, admired and excused. Narcissism 
becomes deadly when destructive impulses become fused with the 
conscience, transforming lying, manipulation, murder or even terrorism 
into noble, moral acts. Malignant narcissists may even kill to slake 
their thirst for attention."
