Are Some Souls Born with a Stronger Pull Toward Evil?

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah. I’ve been turning this over in my mind for a while-about human nature and the whole good and evil thing in Islam. I know we’re taught that Allah created us on the fitrah, with the ability to choose and be accountable. But here’s what’s bugging me: if we all start with that same potential for goodness, why does it seem like some people hardly have to try, while others... well, not so much? Like, you see folks who are just naturally kind, patient, forgiving-their heart leans that way. Then there are others, myself included sometimes, who struggle with anger, selfishness, pride, or wanting to lash out when hurt. It makes me wonder: does Islam actually recognize that some people might be created with a temperament that tips more toward evil? I’m asking partly because of my own battles. I want to be good, I really do. But often, doing the right thing feels like swimming against a current inside me. Take forgiving someone-Islam urges mercy, and I get that. But when I’m boiling with anger, how do you just forgive and mean it? My first reaction is usually to protect myself, hold onto the hurt, or want the other person to feel it too. So when I try to forgive for Allah’s sake, I sometimes doubt if it’s even sincere, ‘cause a chunk of me doesn’t want to. So here’s my bigger puzzle: are we all built with the same pull toward good, or do some of us get handed a tougher fight from the start? Can someone genuinely feel like they were “made” to be bad-not as an excuse, but because their thoughts and desires just naturally drag them toward what they know is wrong? Allah knows every person’s nature, right? He creates us with different personalities and struggles. So why assume everyone should find righteousness equally easy? And how does He view the one who has to battle their nafs every single day, compared to the one who just flows into goodness? I mean, maybe the struggle itself is worth something, even if it doesn’t feel natural. I’m not trying to dodge responsibility or justify sins-I know we’re accountable. I’m just digging into this deeper bit about human nature: are some people given a way harder fight with themselves? And how does Islam see someone who has to claw their way toward goodness, while for others it’s just... there? Jazakum Allahu khayran for any insights.
