I think good people do some bad things sometimes, but that doesn't make them horrible person. People make mistakes and that is okay. People can always change with enough determination. It will be hard, but it can be done.

Everyone has the chance to change; it's all about openmindedness. To some degree, people are inherently cruel, as we are made of both good and bad aspects. However, with enough work, we can better ourselves and learn to be less cruel to others. If they can't be openminded and refuse to work on that, then they won't change, but they still have the chance to.

I think people can change... but it can be difficult and take a lot of time sometimes. I don't think anyone is inherently cruel... I think cruelty is a learned behavior and it can often be difficult to unlearn something that has been engrained in you for so long

people are not inherently cruel, others make them that way by hurting them etc. Being cruel is maybe just a way of trying to protect yourself from getting hurt more. Maybe cruel is like anger, it's a secendary emotion people use to cover up other emotions like pain or vulnerability.
And, yes, people can change, but it's hard. Because you have to change all of yourself in order to become a better person, that also means you will have to open up and trust again. and if the reason someone became so cruel was because of their trust issues thats going to be really hard.
