hi happyflower,
I think most people have huge capacities inside them for good AND *hole-ness, and certain situations (chronic and sudden) can bring out various sides of a personality.But I also think there are special people who are "locked in" to a way of behavior, be it good or bad. Someone like Mother Theresa, I think, just *couldn't* commit evil. And some people, for some reason, just *can't* stop commiting evil and crimes.
There are a ton of psychological, medical and spiritual debates that could stem from your question!
But in general, for most people, I think that YES - it's possible to be a "hole" on occasion. The trick is to avoid being so, and to keep being positive and nice and supportive.
