A Fundamental Question

Actually, I have four related questions that I’ve discussed privately for more than a year now with people of different backgrounds (whether religious or political):

1. Do you believe there are evil people in the world?
2. If so, on what basis –- their thoughts, utterances, &/or actions –- do you make that judgment?
3. Are ‘evil’ people born that way, or raised (or choose) to become ‘evil’ somehow, or is it a combination?
4. Can ‘evil’ people be redeemed (here on Earth) –- that is, change their ways and undo any harm they’ve inflicted upon others?  How so?

Please, take your time to reflect on these before answering (should you even care to weigh in).  I will not post your feedback anytime soon, because I don’t want to unfairly influence others’ opinions.  Eventually I will share what I’ve heard from others, protecting their privacy however they wish me to.

Sorry, I don’t allow comments on my blog.  It’s my personal journal, my diary, my autobiography (of sorts).  Why would anyone of you allow others to ‘edit’ a personal record such as this?

That said, I DO want to know what you think.  Email your questions, comments, and even rebuttals to me at motw20190224@xemaps.com.  I will be honest and fair-minded, promising to take your feedback into consideration.  And when I’m wrong about something, I promise to acknowledge it, revise my own writings –- and personally thank you.
