Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health? caramella answered Friday May 25 2007, 2:27 am: i dont think anyone was born evil,God created everyone pure,a baby.Its the society that you decide to be with that changes you.Grudges and hatred and jelousy arent evil,theyre feelings that have fed upon you because you were prevented from things you wanted when you were younger and these feelings grew with you.I think the only evil is doing something wrong and not knowing what your doing is wrong,thats the worst kinda evil cuz you never know who your hurting and you just keep going on and on and it gets bigger.Everyone has flaws and noones perfect,everyone has to have flaws.And another kinda evil is ignorance and pride.Pride makes you feel higher then everyone making you start to look down and dislike people and you never get along with them if your pride gets too big.And ignorance is being evil to yourself not to the society.

hotpotato answered Thursday May 24 2007, 7:20 pm: both nature and nuture determine how a human is. the circumstances they are born into/ their environment are just as important as their genetics and predisoposition towards certain things. you cannot tell for sure what drives a person.
personally, i believe that people are both capable of good and evil. it depends how they are born and raised, both. in other words, society does impact a person a lot, but people also come into the world a certain way. both things mold us into who we are.
i dont think evil is exactly a flaw. morality is relative. what is evil to you may seem okay to me. like.. theres philosophy and ethics you can research about this stuff and lots of great literature out there about it. :D ask me if you have any more questions!

sillyrob answered Thursday May 24 2007, 7:19 pm: I doubt anyone is born "evil". They might be born with the ability to become, due to some hereditary mental disorder, but not exactly evil. Most of what shapes someone is: how their parents raise them, who they spend their childhood with, and genetics. Or so is my belief. [ sillyrob's advice column | Ask sillyrob A Question ]
