He managed to keep sanity while being with a pedophile transgender crazy evil scientist snake man for 3 years... despite huge trauma from childhood, from late Part I. having been mentally abused by Sound Four and then the Itachi death/truth thing in Part II. so yeah, I would say he has been VERY strong mentally despite all shit that he went through.

Sasuke's motives, mood, personality and actions have always made sense to me, sans the kage summit madman behavior. But I guess he lost it and all he was focused on was avenging Itachi by murdering Danzo and destroying Konoha...

Speaking from personal experience... the more emotional a person is and the more that person has felt love for someone, great true unconditional pure love from bottom of the heart... after losing it... the worst kind of monster he or she becomes than people who don't experience love or emotions in general so strongly or just haven't truly loved and lost yet.

I suggest people who don't get it to rewatch Naruto while keeping in mind all along that Sasuke was in love with Sakura, loved Naruto and was envious of him and cared for other people from his village and the village itself all along as well, yet he felt he needed to supress those feelings and values and go against them to achieve his goal, it must have been a constant suffering and inner struggle inside of him.
