I agree.
People are who they are beyond their actions. It's hard to see sometimes.
And I'm sure in a moment someone will say something to make me think about this entirely too much.
There are no such things as bad people
There are no liars
There are no murderers
There are no thieves
The only thing you are is human. everything else, you do
you can change that at any time by doing something different

If I learned to play the piano, I would be a piano player, but I haven't so I'm not.

This is perfect to make my point about my 20% uncertainty
If you learned to play the piano at age 16 you could be called a piano player. What if you then went on to never play the piano again.
At age 70 could you still claim to be a piano player?
Well, quite possibly, I don't know. You would certainly have the skills and potential to be a piano player. You can't take back your previous piano-playing, it still happened and you can't deny it.
And some people are naturally born being truly excellent piano players with little help; for the rest of us, we are inclined to not so be great at playing the piano unless we have 1. actually seen/heard pianos, and 2. have grown up in an environment in which piano playing was taught and encouraged.
So I would say that some people have a natural affinity for playing the piano, right? But for most people it is learned. And all of us have the potential to be excellent piano players, unless we are born with some trait that makes it impossible.
(Substitute "murder" or something really awful for "piano playing", same thing. Assuming murder requires skills, desire and aptitude, which I'd imagine it does. Some people will be better at it than others and some people will willingly practice it more than others.)
Oops. I just made this about nature vs. nurture. Well, we know the answer to that is "both", right?
Oh, yes, and one more thing: I bet you get better at it over time, the more you practice it, whatever it is, murder, piano, anything.
Using this same logic we are all bed wetters and thumb suckers
In fact we are all also thieves, hateful people, quitters etc
Hmmm
