Every day in the news there is at least one story that highlights the depravity of the human being. This leads me to wonder if some people are inherently evil? I know we like to believe that everyone is born good and that there are circumstances in out lives that shape who we are; which I believe to a certain extent. But what about the serial killer who had a great childhood or the child rapist who grew up in a loving two family home. Are people like that born evil?
There are people in the world who have never done a good deed in their lives, are they inherently evil or is it just their environment? When I read a story about a 18 month old baby being sexually molested or a parent whoring out his/her child or a mother chopping her baby into pieces and frying her, I can't help but to wonder if these people are truly evil. Not just sick or misguided but evil.
I can't fathom another answer for why some people do the incredibly mind blowing most awful things one can think of, can you?
