The immature adult.
Just as in the case of Peter Pan in Neverland, the immature adult hesitates to grow up, masquerading their refusal to mature, as well as their apparent lacking fear of death (basically a suicidal attitude) as cool rebelliousness.
"Aim at something. Discipline yourself. Or suffer the consequences: all the suffering of life, with none of the meaning. Is there a better description of hell?"

Take responsibility
The antidote to the suffering and malevolence of life resides in taking responsibility for it and in trying to improve.
"But why should I shoulder all that burden? It is nothing but sacrifice, hardship and trouble."
But what makes you so sure you don't want something heavy to carry?
"Yes, I might be flawed, but at least I'm taking responsibility. I'm taking care of myself, I am of use to my family and to the other people around me. I might be stumbling, but at least I'm stumbling forward."

You can't get away with anything
Nobody can escape their own consciousness, because we aren't the source of our own values. Even the most psychopathic of people seem motivated to mask their wrongdoings with a layer of lies.
Even the most malevolent, it appears, must find justification for his or her evil.
