People are sometimes born without empathy – sociopath or psychopath, I forget which. That could be considered ‘born bad’, but most such people live honest and ordinary lives, according to what I’ve read on the subject. They are capable of understanding the rules, and of understanding the consequences of breaking the rules – enlightened self-interest.
Some just think they’re too smart to be bothered by the rules. Some really are. Fortunately these types seem to be rare.
Scary topic if you think about it. But Cynthia has empathy, she just rebels a lot.
