Question for hackers

I've been trying hard to figure out what makes these idiots cheat. And I haven't found any answer yet.
When you win a big match (or any match) by hacking, how can you possibly get pleasure out of it? How can you feel good about it?
And if you realize that it feels like shit, why don't you just stop? Well that I understand - you fear that you might suck so much without hacks and your team might kick you out. And if you're already in top you don't wanna fall out of your spot.
I also understand if you are young and you just wanna look good, become the best damn player there is. It's normal, ambition, but kid you're doing it wrong. I don't understand older hackers though, by your age you must have grown up at least a little bit to separate what's right and what's totally wrong.
Hackers and ex-hackers, enlighten me.

Before criticizing something, I myself tend to try and know the situation or phenomenon I am talking about, the complete ins and outs, et cetera.
Frankly enough, it is quite obvious that judging from posts concerning my ban, there is simply no belief in what is actually true (i.e. the 'brother story'), which has been defended by (ex) Clanbase insiders.
This not only applies to you, but also to the other half of the community. Unless you were trolling of course, which I seem to doubt.
I do believe your story...
And then of course I have to apologize. I am sorry for the inconvenience!
whether it's fair or not.. didn't really bother me (except when it comes to usage in clanwars) because i never really tried to hide aimbot when i used it.. fun part for me was using the full power of aimbot.. tried playing with human aim though on efter/bio long time ago for a month.. never got busted, but it's kinda boring and not fun
As hackers and people playing with full aimbots on public is two whole other stories.
So..
As with the rest of life, gaming aint all black and white.
It's just different shades of grey.
In the right setting, it could be anyone.
But if you want a reason;
cheaters aint much different from the rest of us, and it might just as well have been you.
Most do it out of desperation, or for pure fun.
But what most had in common when they started cheating is the fact that they didn't care anymore.
They were left with the choice; to stop gaming, continue getting owned, or start cheating and be owning themselves.
Some justify it thinking "everyone else cheats.. so why shouldn't I?"
Some start just because they are curious, often led by others, and keep doing it because they like it and because the others are doing it.
Still, most of them hate other cheaters just like you and I. They fit themselves in and care just as much about the community as the others.
All in all it's just a different shade of grey.
