well i dont believe it is the deciding factor, but indirectly, everything in society has an influence on something. of course its complex and cant be drawn back to a single thing, but we still need to accept the fact that from birth, we learn threw observation. and if we were more diligent about being good people wed ask our selves questions like if i was a good person during my life, rather than only considering it once im on my death bed.
imagine loss happening to you, youd learn some lessons, youd probably humble your self, now imagine learning that lesson without having to lose anything.
not to mention the numerous contradictions we encounter threw life, for example. my dad said to follow the rules, and listen to the people in charge, than he told the life guard in charge to go **** him self and did a back flip next to a sign that said no flips.
obvioulsy that didnt make me evil, but its a single example of numerous mixed messages we get in life, thats why i said it comes back to morality and guidance, having a gun doesnt make you do unforgivable things, the idea, "well im free, so why not" mixed with many complex circumstances is what does imo.
people misinterpret good things and twist it. the freedom we have isnt an excuse to kill
