Humans are not born perfect, we are each born with original sin. Original sin is sin that has been passed from generation due to Adams rebellion at the Garden of Eden. The church and Sacraments especially the sacraments of Initiation teach us that we can all become greater than we think through the power of the Holy Spirit.
God has given us the ultimate power, Free Will. He has given us the ability to chose our own path and not to be blind mindless followers of his, in giving us the power he has given us our own opinion, our own personality the difference between you and me. this power he has given us is also our greatness weakness as a species, he has given us the choice of what is right and what is wrong and has given us the opportunity to follow the path of evil, he has given us the ability to turn away from him but trusts us to follow good even though we have the ability to turn against him because Human nature and choice is essentially good, this is because of our conscience.
Every human is born with awareness and judgement of what is right and what is wrong. It the Knowledge of how we should act in particular situations, like all forms of knowledge it must be exercised and put into use in our daily lives, if we do not do this or follow path we know is wrong our conscience is weakened.
