Inspired by Skyrim:

Not sure if this is the right section TBH

What is better - to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?

I personally think it would be the latter because one who is born good cannot not truly understand the essence of evil nature, its depths and the darkness that surrounds it. Anyone who overcomes and supresses their evil nature has great deal of strength and understanding. But I guess the former has it easier because he/she doesn't have to worry about things like this.

What's your take on this?
