"You have lead a good life."

[hitch1978]

I've changed my mind.

"Who do you want to live as next?"

[Sephus]

"you have lead."

The ability to be cruel, hate, and do evil are intrinsic abilities to beings created with the attribute of free will.

In addition to this world being one of duality: good/bad, wet/dry, light/dark, etc. Can't have one aspect without the other.
