I can agree with that

I guess it really depends on your definition of evil. If a person thinks that what their doing is justified or right or simply doesn’t think about it they could be as hateful, selfish, violent or for example racist as they want and it wouldn’t be evil because they don’t know any better. Some people would still say that these people are evil based on what they are doing and are aware of doing or their emotions and desires some of which are natural. Others would say that the mere tendency to do something “bad” is evil in humans because unlike animals they have the choice not to do it. Evil is a concept humans made up and didn’t clearly define so it can mean different things to different people.

Yes you do. Otherwise you wouldn’t even know you are being evil, because their is negative intentions behind evil, so if you don’t know what you’re doing is evil then it is merely not knowing any better

Humans naturally love violence and conflict. That’s why you kill things in videogames. They love to have something to hate even when those they hate haven’t done anything to them and they tend to egoistical behaviour for no actual reason other than human nature. The reason why we need a great part of our morals to begin with is to suppress our own tendencies to random bad behaviour and bad behaviour that is actually based on our experiences but you don’t have to experience something to be evil.

No people are just born with a lack of knowledge about morals and such. Only what a child experiences can truly make them evil.

I think every human is born evil and can learn to be good in the right environment but kids won’t be that evil right away since they are weak, helpless and dependent on others so you have got a certain timeframe to work with. Human nature is just bad by default due to our genes.

The author has never taken care of a two year old… Can’t be born evil. pfft
