Let's say that a pair of twins is born. They are identical in every way. The difference is this:

As they grow, Twin A is taught right from wrong, while Twin B is allowed to do whatever he wants.

Which twin will most likely grow up to be a "good" or even a "decent" person?

The Lesson: All of us are born with the inclination to do wrong. We have to be TAUGHT not to do wrong things. How interesting.

I think its more like respect than doing wrong or right things, I agree with most of your post, but I dont think we are born to do wrong things more than nature tells us we should do whatever we want or need for us or our loved ones but we behave because we live in society, for our own integrity we dont do bad things to others. We are taught its better for us to respect others when we want something or then people wont respect us, we arent born bad or made to do wrong things, we are just born antisocial.

If  twin B did whatever he wanted, he would end up in jail, beaten up, dead or exiled. I think human behaviour and the existence of goverments that prevent us froom harming others is something that can be seen even in some primates and primitive tribes.
