While I can respect that.
I have no faith that goodness resides within a person, nor does evil.

Good and Evil are choices made in a moment of time. That moment has passed, but it's effects persist for a long time.

I do know that a single act of bad in the present can counter a lot of good from the past. But a simple act of kindness can also topple a lifetime of bad acts.

Dr Seuss taught me that, in a book called "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".

The fact that someone deigns to think of us as in their society is always a gift, for good or for evil it is still a gift. It's always our own decision whether or not to accept any gift.

It's also a choice whether or not to return any gift.
I choose to reward good behavior, and nothing makes me happier than to see my friends, become friends. You already know what I believe about enemies.
