I don’t believe anyone is born with any behaviour problem. The personality only forms from input data. Consider the brain a computer hard drive). Who we are is what we see, hear, feel. As we grow our opinions who we are come from what we have on our drive. Peope don’t know they do things wrong because it’s not there. I know this as my abuser cannot even see what he did it’s not there. I also have bpd and before I was enlightened I’d do stuff and could justify it because that was me. No one is born bad, it’s not possible. Behaviour is only a reaction to a happening and that reaction would be born or what is in the hard drive.

Does anyone agree?

I agree there are mitigating circumstances. A starving child versus shoplifting, I would shoplift, but with the knowledge that it’s wrong.

No, what is wrong is a society that forces you into that choice when the shops are full of food.
