Paradox

I've been watching the Ted Bundy Tapes on Netflix and it just has me thinking about where the breaking point was. What would cause him to do such disgusting things? Ted Bundy says he had a great childhood, even went to church, and appeared as a normal individual. He even mentions in the tape that typically theorists want to point their finger at a trauma early in their life, but sometimes there just isn't a reason.

However, other serial killers, such as Jeffery Dahmer, or the killer clown (John Wayne Gacy) theorists try to root their killings back to their trauma (although their trauma absolutely didn't give them an excuse to do the unspeakable things they did) as they each were closeted homosexuals. They were either afraid to come out or they were rejected by their loved ones once they did come out.

People typically will try to root an evil person's actions in their trauma but perhaps that evil was just there all along, inside them from the moment they were born. People want to believe that there is an excuse for their unspeakable actions, but sometimes there just isn't.

Personally, i believe that people CAN be born evil.
