[DnD] Do evil-aligned individuals see themselves as evil? What do they think of evil?

I'm sure there's variation, but do evil individuals percieve that they have been wronged by the universe and are in the right to do what they do?  Are they just evil and revel in it?  Or do they not think there's a valid difference between the two?  Or something else entirely?

Not strictly D&D, but many authors and teachers of writing/literature will tell you that no one is the villain of his or her own story.  

Generally, villains are people who pave their roads with good intentions, or slide down slippery slopes until they've lost their way or forgotten their purposes.    

Others, are lacking in the aspects of humanity (like empathy) that are necessary to perceive the immorality or monstrousness of their actions.   

Of course, there must be villains somewhere who celebrate their evilness and join in group evil laughs and envy the way a contemporary can manage a certain threat and do so with such style or elegance...  and *they* know where you live.
