Is It Possible To Love An Object more than your family?

No, I do not think so. Even if a person THINKS he loves an object more than his family, if it is a life-and-death situation, the person would probably choose his family. (Notice the word probably) The pressure of having a situation like that either makes you do something blatantly worng or right. I said probably, as there is still a chance that the person is pure evil, born fundamentally evil or hates his family, then they choose the object.
For example, take the character Gollum from the Lord Of The Rings. The ring "possesed" him and he loved it so much, that in the end, he murdred his friend to get it.
Then comes the question, "Are people born fundamentally good, neutral or bad?" In my opinion, people are born mostly fundamentally neutral. It depends on who they associate with. If they associate with evil people, they become evil. If they associate with good people, they become good.
However,in my opinion, a small number of people are born fundamentally good, or fundamentally evil. These people will remain good or bad for the rest of their lives, and nobody can influence them. That is what I think. Share your thoughts on whether people are born fundamentally good, bad or neutral.
Actually, I have been thinking: "We all say that most people will choose the person" but that is because we are well loved and taken care of by our family, but what happens if the person was not well loved and taken care of? THEN the person might choose the item. Or take a drug addict. The drugs or his family? He would probably choose the drugs. He is an addict. He "needs" the drugs.(or so he thinks)
