 That's why there's Free will.....and my interpretation teaches self determinism. If that makes me the loser in your eyes Relo, so be it. I trust the guidance of an inner good in mankind.

Children are not self centered by nature.....at least not in my direction, nieces, nephews, my sons & grandchild. They've been outgoing & more perceptive of their surroundings than any adult. When a parent cares about others, they are teaching by example.....most early stages of learning for the child is by example, the parent is concious of their actions for the sake of a child. That includes watching what they say in a child's presence, & monitoring the type of programs they are exposed to etc.

I'll agree there is potential for evil, but I won't believe children are evil. They are born innocent & unless corrupted shall remain that way.
