The hardships one faces do mold you in one way or another, it has to shape you in either a bad, good or somewhere in between fashion. Now certainly you maybe are predisposed to react a certain way but the suffering still shapes you even if you were pushed towards a certain direction by genetics. There is of course an exception to most if not all rules. This being one of them, the one of them is one of the most infamous men in history and he is of course Adolf Hitler. He had a relatively good life as a child and young adult, he didn’t suffer much, I mean there were no beatings, or constant abuse or money troubles and I guess you can say he suffered during ww1 but so did many other people. He had no horrible experiences in life which made him evil, he was predisposed to evil, to sociopathy, to cruelty, to commit genocide. …show more content…
Most people would never do such things, sure a few will commit murder and again the vast majority have the ability to commit murder, but they would only do so in an act of passion. This was actually used in a defense called the temporary insanity defense in the 1800s, at least I believe the 1800s, by the lawyer of a man who killed his wife’s lover.

If that hadn’t happened he probably would have never killed anyone. This was a wrong action to do yes but it wasn’t evil, well I guess that depends on your subjective views of what evil is but then again most don’t it evil. Adolf was an example of how some people are predisposed to do evil even without suffering but here’s an example of the majority of people, this example is how suffering shaped a person to be
