I think people are basically evil, so I'd ask if they can eventually become good. I'd first answer yes, then check myself in for talking to myself.

We all have evil in us. The evil is hidden deeper in some and camouflaged by talent and brilliance in others. We smile and charm are way through each day. But some days the smile falters and the evil shows just a bit at the corners of the month. We are all primarily good people, but once in a while a good person crosses that imaginary line and becomes an evil one.

i don't think a person can "turn" evil, but I think situations occur in peoples lives that cause them to have bad judgement. How long is eventually? What happened to this person about the time they decided to turn evil? Ask this person what can be done to help them become "un-evil"? They may be asking for help by being evil and just dont know how to get back to the good life.

No one is entirely "good". We are all human. I believe good/evil is like a sliding scale for everyone - some have a tendancy to be on one side, the other, or in between. But that doesn't mean we don't move around depending on the situation. Evil is inside of everyone and can be triggered by different factors - the same goes for good.

Yes. It all depends on the little decisions we make each day. Neglecting our families, being unkind to others around us, and becoming dishonest are all choices that could lead us down a path to forsaking all good and becoming evil. Good and evil do exist. Good comes from God, and evil from Satan. All things have their opposite. If there was no evil would we even know what good was?

I don't think a good person can turn evil. They may do some evil things but will regret them and feel guilt. Evil feels no guilt. I like you.

little question, the questioner is oblivious to a number of thousand years of moral training, which makes a speciality of action. it is absurd to disclaim that particular moves are evil. identity of the act with the actor(s) does no longer unavoidably keep on with, yet that would not advise it is to be ignored, both. preventing the inquiry for this reason is tantamount to evil, because it has no longer been sparkling, for a number of thousand years, no matter if adult men stay so through thoroughly giving themselves over to at least one in each and every of two conflicting impulses. Anonymity is for this reason provided quite "adventure". Now, who're, specifically, those solid those who get rejected? ought to those particular persons basically be "lively" and for this reason complicated for an unaccommodating crew, one lacking in spirit?

Normally, a good person will not turn evil, however, certain peculiar situation may compel one to turn evil. Situations like, failure in love, successive failure in Exams./ promotions, continuous rebuking by wife/husband/ parents/relatives, big loss in business, and unwarranted interference by law enforcing agencies etc. may sometimes compel one for such a turn. Having self confidence, faith in God, love and affection from family members and strong will power can be helpful in avoiding such situations.

I do it on a daily basis...
nothing eventual about it. It is more about according to... not eventually.
If you deserve evil. You get evil. If you deserve kindness, you get kindness. I have an abundence of both, I treat everyone accordingly and give what is expected depending on how a person first treats anyone else. Basically, we all get exactly what we deserve and deal with what we need to deal with to learn. even if people seem innocent and undeserving... They too only get what they either need, or deserve.
The universe knows what it is doing.

Yes. Recipe for turning evil:
Forget who you are because you want something and that is the price for having it.
Go through with the action that you know is not just wrong for you, but wrong in every sense.
Justify the behavior to yourself.
Deny your conscience.
It is now easy to do more of the same.
So, the amount of evil you are tempted to, increases.
You are descending faster than you have time to notice.
