Do you think that it's possible for people to be inherently bad? Not all the way, necessarily, but like maybe there's a bigger chance of messing up if you come from something bad, or like you've got some kind of latent seed planted deep that could burst someday.

I don't think that's true, if you look at it objectively. It still makes me really nervous sometimes, though, so I wonder if some part of me thinks it's a real possibility. I can't shake it off, so I get frustrated with myself sometimes.

I'm sure other people must feel like that. I'm sorry if you do.

I don't think it could be that solid, either. I guess I'm asking more about whether we're clean slates or not, and if we DO have certain things mapped out, how deep can it reach?

I don't know if anybody can really answer that, though.

I don't know if anyone's a clean slate. There's things in everyone's family that'd mean you could turn out to be the next big villain. Nobody's free from all of it. But it's just as much about who you make yourself out to be. What you're willing to fight for.

But yeah, kind of hard to answer. Depends on a lot of things.

It's a dumb line of questioning. I shouldn't have asked.

It's not dumb.
