Are people born evil, or made evil?!
Question: People are neither born evil or made evil - everyone has the potential for good and evil in them.
We all have the choice of how to act - for good or evil.
Most people choose to act on their good impulses, and choose not to act on their bad, or evil impulses. So a 'law abiding' person may think 'I hate you', and even dream of killing that person, but they would not carry it out. They would make a choice not to act on their feelings. They would recognise their 'evil' thoughts but forgive themself for their human frailty and not dwell on their feelings, or feel guilty for them - accepting their feelings as part of being human.
Someone else might feel the same but allow their feelings to control them, tormenting themselves with their 'evil' thoughts, to the point they might and go ahead and kill the person.
We all make the choice between good and evil in everyday life, for example in whether we offer small kindnesses or nasty snide remarks.

Made evil - by their surroundings
definatly made evil. Life changes people from what they should be to what they are
I'd say made - you look at all the 'evil' people in the world all at some point have been subjected to trauma or abuse in their life.
read up about attachment theory by a chap called Bowlby its interesting
I think each baby is born as a blank slate with endless possibilities
made evil everyones born pure at heart but this big old stinking world changes all that
have a nice day lol.
ive just been talking to my mate freddy cruger he says he was born evil
Its part nature and part nurture.
made evil on account of their upbringing and bitterness...pain harbours hate and bitterness...
No one can be born evil because babies are always innocent, they have to be made evil
Don't think we are born actually evil but we all have the potential and that's where the influence of what happens to us comes in. But it's still down to us what choices we make.
Made definitely. Monsters are shaped, not created.
Born Good,Made evil by surroundings and upbringing, no excuse though everyone has choices whether there evil or not.
If you believe in karma, some people can be born evil but is latent inside them and waiting to be let out and vice-versa.
They say that you bring over from your past life which may be true. How come a little boy can play piano at 6 yrs old and surpass a man who is 25 yrs old ?
How can this boy be so attune to learn so fast? Isn't this a carryover from a previous life and this accounts for people having abilities show early in life, where others can take a lifetime to learn what they know early in life?
On the other hand, you learn from your environment. Like IRAQ, where all the little boys have firearms , or can shoot them . Violence is all around them.
In other countries, the same young boy grow up peacefully.
Both to a degree. Man has a natural tendency towards sin, but it can be learnt also. You don't have to teach a child to be naughty, it comes naturally. You have to teach them with care full discipline to be good and caring.
Nature or nurture? A bit of both.
Evil when they reject God.
Freewill.
where all born inocent life can be good or evil its how we perciece things and act on them thats what makes people good or bad
I think its the events what happens in a persons life that make them into an evil person. I think that people who are born with real personality disorders can be evil and not know about it, they may be do not realise their own actions are wicked, I suppose that people do what they want, and then choose what to blame as and when it suits them.
made most of the time by experience but some born
they are born evil by evil parents, most monsters in this world have evil parents but they went on to excel them, they know no different as they seen no different, i actually think society fails them. the trouble with society is that they think that a child is best with its natural mother, wrong, wrong, and wrong, the social cannot afford to save half of these kids, they can afford to justify their salary. if they done their job, and helped these kids get out of their lonely enviroments, showed them love and support and teach them to do the same then i think things could and would be different
I think nature is rare, nurture more common
NO ONE is born evil. Since I believe we come from divinity with God and are His off spring - we are hence also born innocent and perfect and through time, circumstance, choices, worldly influences have evil thrown at us with time. What we choose to DO with those things determines the degree it becomes part of us or not.
I think some are born that way.
made evil. most people are mean for certain reasons or as a way to cover up their true feelings. it's not in the human nature to want to harm anyone on purpose.
BOTH, some have the most greatest backgrounds and they just flip.
Others have so much crap it turns them.
They reckon jack the ripper was royalty remember.
