An opinion on controversial matters

As I have heard many people say, "people are born good, but only with time do they become corrupt or evil." This is, in my opinion, is the most amazing example of hope. For all of those who have said this, they see that everyone has a choice, but only the person can choose. Just to know that some accept the fact that there are both good and bad people in the world shows understanding to a deep level. In fact it's gives me hope to know that such people with open minds exist. I personally believe this. One can only take so much of good or bad until they get pushed to the point of madness or curiosity, but it is at that time when they have the opportunity to become more or less of what they are at the current time. Only they themselves can take control and become something much greater that is strived for by many.
