In my opinion it's even more complicated than that. Not only people can change during life, but people can for example be extremely caring for their children, while at the same time killing and torturing anyone of a different believe, race, etc.

What I wonder about is the "created equal" bit. It is obviously not true (a girl is not a boy, etc.) and it seems like a statement easily abused to postulate some ideal human that we are all (supposed to be) equal to. If not, you are less than human, ...

We know where that leads.

Fuck Plato ...
