there are many books written on this subject, and it's hard to make a paraphrase of the answer.

Largely, i believe we are in control of our own actions, and that our sin brings pain to ourselves and others. i don't think there is a scale at which suddenly God kicks in...God allows us the free will to hurt people a little, and similarly allows us to hurt a lot.

i cannot speak but of my own experience on the next part...but no matter how grim life has been, i have seen love and mercy breaking back in to the world. Some survivors share that sentiment. Some do not. I can't give you an asnwer...this is the faith part of the question.
