I think everyone IS capable of being a good person. I also think that nearly everyone is capable of being a bad person (or doing bad things), even if it isn't intentional. A HUGE part of it has to do with their influences in life, and what they've been taught (especially at a young age).

We all have the ability to act upon thoughts, good or bad. Just because you make bad choices or do bad things doesn't mean you're a bad person. In the same way you can BE a bad person, but can make good choices.

Sigh this is kind of a hard topic haha. I guess what I'm trying to get at is that we all have good and bad thoughts, we are all CAPABLE of those things. It's about how we act upon those thoughts that truly matters.

This will sound kind of spiritual almost (take it as you will), but I feel as if people who are completely insensitive, cruel, malicious human beings just haven't been around here for as long as some others have. They're selfish and primitive in action and haven't learned yet. I suppose that's where you get into the idea of having "new" and "old" souls being around. And regardless of any personal beliefs, it's hard to deny that there just are some people who seem to have more insight than others.
