Nature of Evil

I don't think that people are born evil, like The Omen, rather they learn to be evil from someone, somewhere or from experience. If growing up you experience poverty and you never have anything, you will do anything to acquire what you need. Maybe that's why drug dealing is so attractive to some people. Also, if someone never gets caught stealing when they're younger, maybe just taking lollipops, they might grow up thinking it is okay and progress to stealing cars, stealing purses, and robbing banks. Anger and jealousy can also lead to the engagement in bad deeds. There could be a jealous ex-boyfriend who could resort to violence on the other person. Maybe two people who are angry over a situation they are in and fight each other to release tension. I don't know or see that many people who are essentially evil or started out evil. Hurricane Katrina victims steal and hurt others because they went from having nothing to having even less. I am not condoning these actions. Circumstances can change any one's perspective.
