Are you born GOOD or EVIL......or

WE are all born good it is up to us to stay good or choose to be bad when we grow up. The environment we grow up is one of the factors that affect our attitude in selecting what is good and what is bad.

Well I'm not sure. I suspect that it's more choice and the way you were raised than anything, but I do wonder if some peoples brains are just not normal from birth or genetics or something...

As a child, you are neither good nor evil. On the other hand, children are born inherently self centered, that is how they survive. There are some people who are born with a need for thrills and excitement, and possibly for evil, but that does not destine them to be evil.There are people born with a natural need to please others, but that does not destine them to be good. I believe that your environment at home, your experiences in the world and at school tend to push you one way or another for the most part. I would also include the experiences of ill health and pain as determining factors.

I also don't think there are people who are born good nor evil absolutely. I think we have our choices. If you choose to be good, then you should be seen as good and vice versa.

I don't believe that someone was born evil or someone was born good. As we grow up and gather experiences we can become good or evil or neutral like most of the people. Many depends of you family and what they were teaching you, conditions of life while you were growing up, your friends and opportunities. When we are born I believe that we are like empty piece of paper. We need time to write down something.

I don't think it's a total choice. I think it's maybe genetic but I also think it's the environment you are raised in...the sort of examples you have set to follow.

I think good and bad people are made not born, unless of course they have some kind of mental condition that they are born with that makes them insane or something like that, but with all physical health issues of the brain in common I believe how people turn out has a lot to do with how they were raised and the people that they hang out with and the people the formed them as they were growing up. I don't think anybody turns out bad without being treated badly themselves sometime in their life.

Hi missy! This is a very good question! I'm not really sure that I can answer it though. I don't know if people are born EVIL or not, but I sure know plenty of EVIL people! I have a "Neighbor from HELL"! She is the most horrible person in every way that I have ever known! She is ugly inside and out! I think SHE was born that way! She has been living where I live for 30 years and has tortured so many neighbors that 5 have purposely moved out because of her, including my good friend who just moved to another building in the Complex because of her! I really think this beotch is pure EVIL!!!!

I think every one is born good. It's just that along the way as we grow there are factors that could either makes us bad and good. And some of us followed what is bad for factors that is out of their control. But come to think of it, there are criminals that when they are incarcerated , becomes good. Maybe it's because it is innate in us to be good after all?

hi, for me, i think we born here with having our own decision which way we go through our life to be good or to be evil,when a person started to think and know how to decide,that will be the start of choosing what way will you go,for me of course i will choose to be good though there were times that im bad.

I have heard of the saying some people are born evil. Maybe so but I truly feel that most people have either had a bad life or choose to be evil because they don't know any other way and don't have a desire to be good nor help anyone because maybe no one has ever helped them? Just my thoughts on this. I do believe that most everyone is born good its just life experiences that keeps us good or turn us evil.

I think that we are all born Good. We come from God and He made us good. Although He gave us freewill. In this life we are given the choice to stay Good or become evil by doing bad things.

I think everyone is born good and by the way they are raised is how they will turn out in life. No innocent child should be raised in such a manner of being "Evil" but i do understand that sometimes with the world how it is now, i can see why some kids would end up like they are.

It is true that we become what we want to, or if we are guided by others and do not think independently, what they want. It is totally upto us, and we cannot blame others for it.

Humans are born nuetral we ( most of us) are taught good / evil and through our actions make a conscience decision whether we will nurture the good or the evil within ourselves.

Some we are born to become more evil than good, others to be more good than bad, but the worst is when the best turn into bad after experiences. Evil exists, we are born with it, it then developed, selfishness makes us evil, poverty makes us selfish, we do not find the point, and then look for another purpose ... People do not become bad because they are evil, but (all) people are able to do harm, because they are evil! Therefore, when a man loses control and commits evil deeds, it really just exposing (yes its bronze face). But what makes us the company is not hidden evil in itself, but rather "the pretense of respectability" that is the satisfaction of others' eyes seemed to be true, when in fact we know well that they are false and artificial .. Thus it builds self-image of a man lying .. but it is "artificial log!" But the one who loves good, is lenient in the face of evil!

I too don't believe a person is born good or evil. I think it's the environment he grows up in that determines whether he be good or not.

We are born in the original sin of Adam and Eve, disobedience to God. The thing is that as little children we are not condemned in our innocence, (not that we are without the guilt; we are... just not responsible for the mistakes we make). There comes an age at which we are deemed to be responsible for our actions, the age of accountability, (this is different for different people), and then we are culpable.
