I think a good person can come out of the gutter after experiencing a dreadful life of abuse, war, poverty. Another person having gone through similar grief can emerge a violent criminal. I often see no rhyme or reason to it and so I attribute goodness to an inherent quality one is born with. Perhaps it can be fine tuned but there has to be something there to work with.
I am leaning towards this way of thinking the most!
