It depends of course, on your religion and philosophy.

For me, being a Christian, evil is born with us from the moment of conception and birth. And it will always be with you until you die.

It varies depending on your faith or philosophy, but many religions will agree that you are born with the evil inside of you. But after that and how to become "good", well..the line thins and blurs. Some people will argue that you can attain goodness on your own, and yet others will argue that you cannot come to be good at all, because your own human nature will always betray you to fail.

It is a very complicated issue and I believe it has been debated probably since the question of good and evil was asked. If depends on what you believe, and what you feel is right.

Good question, and I hope I gave you some insight.
