People can behave either goodly or badly - we can usually tell a good person by the good actions they do and a bad person by the bad actions that they do, as well as by examining their motives…
Claim: if a person starts acting differently that means that they have revealed their true nature, it doesn’t mean they have changed
For instance if a person who has always been considered truly good starts being bad that doesn’t mean they have changed, it means they were always bad but had been mis-classified
But for a definitive judgment, we’d have to examine their motivations as well
Claim: We humans can never wilfully act contrary to our moral nature
Claim: And people’s moral nature can never change
