Breaking Bad: What Brings the Bad In Us?

"Hi, my name is Walter White. You may not know me and maybe you may be the last person I will talk to... I let my life pass me by before I finally woke. Don´t let this happen to you - on´t let life pass you by....do whatever it takes, the worst thing is not to do anything..."

That is the words of a good man who did everything one supposed to do in life in order to get and live well: Went to good and is good at his trade. (Is it not true that a man is good at his trade or else he is nothing?) Well, Walter White (played by Bryan Cranston) is definitely a very good Chemistry teacher- Giving all to his students.

He was living a normal, good citizen of America, and working hard too. Is he not supposed to live the American dream? But far from it. Life handed him a lung cancer. In order to treat himself and maintain his family he needs to earn good money. Through teaching? Bah! In desperation the good turned bad. Walter White really started using his good knowledge to manufacture a white potent substance.

This substance is lethal, worse than cocaine. In desperation,he succumbed to the underground urge to produce Meth - a very lethal drug.

Is that not the way people change because of unforeseen circumstances and the unfair world? Bad people are not born bad, but most became bad because of race for survival.
