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.

That seems to be the leading theory. It makes the most sense, too, I guess. It's hard to let things get out of control, but... If it's your own actions you're talking about, it's always possible to stop yourself.

Right, exactly. You just gotta remind yourself of that whenever you get worried, okay? Don't let anyone convince you otherwise. Choices, intentions...those things're always important.

Choices and intentions can be pretty bad, you know.

Sure. But they're still choices. And those're yours.
