Were Men never truly evil?

[Eru]

But becuse you have free will you can turn to it if you want.Those who chose not to can find happyness.

they CAN find hapiness, but sometimes they you don't. some people are happy being under bad influences. the Mouth of Sauron, for example. was he not originally a man? he wasn't born evil...

ok, i get what you are saying. men aren't BORN evil. no, i don't believe they are, because Eru gave to them strange gifts. one being of free will. well, the elves had that, but not as much so.

i recall reading a passage somewhere concerning why men are ever swayed to one side or another. some thing to do with being but a short time on earth.

yeah, well, just my opion.
