human nature

The nature of man thankfully has remained a paradox of the good bad and the ugly,nothing can compare with mans free will to choose his or her own path.One could choose to do evil through out his/her span of life and one could choose to do good.
Thanks to mans freedom to do as he /she wishes.Some people have argued that our circumstances,socio cultural and economic backgrounds has moulded us into what we are as adults .But what are we to say about people who grew up in extremely harsh conditions and still yet grew up into kind hearted adults.Such his abraham lincoln,and what are we to say of adolf hitler who grew up to become a monster destroying six million jews during the second world war.And yet we see people who had happy childhood and equally became wicked later in life,and we know of people who grew in the same circumstances and grew up to be kind hearted.Cerytainly we are the product of the choices we make and not what our own little world has made us to be.This is what human nature entails the ability to determine ones path no matter what.
