i agree - being "evil" or "immorally bound" is not a basic instinct - it requires the
full awareness of what is morally right and morally wrong, which usually happens on the first year of a child's schooling, directly exposed, without supervision, to other children and adults alike and therefore to the outside world
in my opinion though, being "sinful" is a subconscious nature that gets 'tapped' out into consciousness upon exposure to the outside limits of their households, and depending on their upbringing, a child will willingly allow whatever degree of "sinfulness" or "being bad" based on what a child is used to seeing at home - so kid_1 might punch his girl-schoolmate in her face for calling him a 'dummy' because he's used to his dad punching his mom when theyre arguing, then kid_2 might just fall into a negative emotional response from it
