I'm gonna have to ask what you define as good because I don't think having emotions is bad, even if you're a baby
That's a good point. Let me rephrase then: I believe all humans are selfish by nature and so inherently are more easily prone to acting out even if it affects others negatively (intentionally). As in, there's probably a reason why the baby is crying sometimes or there's a reason the baby gets angry. Humans have to be taught to tame their demons because without empathy, everything would be an eye for an eye. By default, I don't think humans have it in them to see right from wrong unless they're taught either directly or indirectly. Something something nature and nurture something something. My 2 cents.
