Is human nature good? Or is it bad?

So you want to know a fact about human beings huh? I'll tell you: human beings are the most conceded, judgmental, first to throw a stone beings in the whole world. I mean humans kill and rape there own kind, and most of the ones who do it are sitting in church judging others and hiding behind there god.

I honestly think that each of us is born to be good. Because if you can look back, there was nothing wrong that we can do when we were a child. However, along the path of growing up, we tend to loose sight of things and change. Things we thought were wrong previously, now it's alright and acceptable and vice versa. Of course pointing fingers about other people's influence on us does not help. We should look deep within us and reflect on our lives. I try to work towards goodness and charity most of the time. - Lyn

Another very tough question to answer. I like to think there is a lot more good than bad in the world...and then you turn on the news...and there goes that theory. In reality however, I think there is a lot more good in the average person than bad. I think however, that increasing power brings out the inherently evil nature of people. cheers,

I think it depends on teh person to be honest. I think we are all guilty of being bad at sometime but some are worse than others. For instance lying if to save someones feelings such as a child who draws a picture of you and you are not sure which way up it goes ect you are lying to protect feelings but people who lie for self gain are bad. I don't think it matters where you come from your parents ect although they do have a moral responsability to instill morals which most parents of course do but some people even from teh most loving, caring backgrounds do bad things, I think it is down to the individual and we cannot stereotype the human race as a whole, I mean how could you compare Mother Teresa to Sadam Hussain?

i am a piscean--and they are usually very calm natured, romantic and musically minded. Once a teacher told us while i was at seminar with some friends(human service trust in mauritius) that why do we people always do good even though in some other's eyes are not doing good?this kept me perplexed, but eventually i got the answer which is..if you listen to your heart for doing anything, it's good, even though people might say it's bad..i hope you understand what i mean it's tryly complex!
