that's my point
Look at it this way, everybody has great potential, but we choose to use that for good or evil. It's our choice.
Interestingly enough, the movement that keeps people from being able to grow up to make that choice, calls itself pro choice.
Good or evil isn't always a choice. It's as much nurture as nature.
I'm pretty pessimistic at times, but I'm not so pessimistic as to say that anybody is -absolutely- evil. So, yeah, I would say that good and evil really is always a choice. It may be that their parents beat them and that led, in part, to them being the way they are, but whatever a person does is their responsibility, because it was their choice to do it, and those two things are mutually inclusive: If you say that the way a parent brings up a child is what causes them to do whatever they do, it takes away the responsibility for what they do and gives it to the parents. Which leads to no one ever having responsibility for anything because, of course, it's the fault of the parent's parents that the parents weren't good parents. Parents parents.
...So to sum it all up, yes, nurture has a part in the choices you make, but, because someone has to be responsible for your actions, the choice is, in the end, no one's but yours.
