About This Quote
People aren't born good or bad. Maybe they're born with tendencies either way, but its the way you live your life that matters. Everyone has a bit of both in them. When our lives are spent pushing one idea to the extreme and ignoring the other, we become a person with a corrupted heart.
We become a person who puts money and status over love and family. We become a person who only cares about themselves, not others. If you want to know who someone is, ask them what their biggest fault is or what they think their biggest flaw is.
You'll find out more about the person than just the things you see on the outside.
