The first feeling that a new person gives is pain. Pain for the body that protected and nourished him when he himself was not yet able to do so. Screaming and bloody, the miracle of birth, or the beginning of the brutal struggle for survival. Without being asked, this new person now exists. He will receive and give joy and pain. He will do good and evil. But when is it decided whether a person is good or evil? And most importantly, by whom?
