Morals are an acquirement - like music, like a foreign language, like piety... -no man is born with them. "Mark Twain"

Do you agree with this? And why?

😟I believe we are born with them but must learn to enhance them as we grow! Life is a learning process! As far as already having some sense of morality, I would say it's like a child who kills a bird for the first time and realized what he/she had done and feels the guilt of the action performed...the conscience reacts to the action! This, in my mind is what defines who we will be moralistically whether we act upon our moral self or throw it all out and ignore our duty as human beings! Hence is how true psychos are created! No conscience and no emotion! So, I somewhat agree with Twain!
