@Neena: But it is first and foremost the way they are born. Psychopaths as well as sociopaths lack the empathy sensor in their brain. Most truly evil things are done by people who are labeled psychopaths.
Evil things are done out of circumstance. Also, evil can be very subjective thing for people.

Many are a product of the environment they were brought up in.
Parents with deficiencies of their own. Both mentally and emotionally.
Some had other experiences. Maybe suffered violence or sexual abuse that meant their understanding of normal and abnormal behaviour is more extreme from the norm.
Some may feel they have no control of themselves. Or more likely, believe they are being controlled by something, someone else.
Then you get 'functioning psychotics.'
People who don't need reminding to do the normal things in life. But have an extreme liking/hatred for a certain type of person or group and develop irrational reasoning for it.

@Neena: There's an expression that goes.....It takes a village to raise a man.
I think this is largely true.
Unfortunately, folk are often ostracised by some of their peers for whatever reason.
This leads them to retreat into worlds of their own and the result of that can often have tragic consequences.
One thinks of many of the American school shootings for example.
Sad thing is those things occur with such horrible regularity. Yet America is neither interested in curbing it's guns nor those who want to own them. Nor do they want to shrink the sizes of their schools. And so they go round and round.

truly evil? it depends on your point of view. as a wiccan the catholic church would brand me as evil. as a man overzealous feminists might brand me as being evil, as someone who takes forever to order a subway sandwich everybody can call me evil. its neither born nor environment. just how you are percieved.

Our nature, how we're raised and our life experiences all influences our decisions, but in the end the choice is up to us. There are those who are more influenced by their nature, others are more influenced by the way they were raised. But again it all comes down to choice. Even if you're a functioning sociopath you've made the decision at some point not to go out killing everyone you dont like, while others have done the opposite.

50% Genes, 50% up bringing and life experiences/environment.
Note: Yoga can even change your DNA.
So it's in your hands.

@bijouxbroussard Simply Google it. I hope you will find the answers.

@ABCDEF7 The only thing I found was a [b]theory[/b] that yoga can ‘reverse’ (quotes theirs) molecular reactions in one’s DNA to stress.

@bijouxbroussard Did you checked research done at Coventry University.

@bijouxbroussard: Thank you . That's true . Sometimes I wonder whether we tag a person as evil and make him dip more into evilness . It would be better if we can give them a chance to come out of evil state to the goodness state . We may not succeed 100 % and failures are bound to be there but its worth a try .
