sorry if this is already a topic.
Okay. The question presented here is "what is the nature of man?", which basically means...do you think that all mankind is mostly evil or good? Also, are you born good/bad or do your surroundings mold who you are? good luck with this one

first.... LOL at the last sentence of the first paragraph, gigi. okay. done.
is morally wrong not considered as bad or evil? since i wanted to debunk humans are born neutral, your explanation is leaning towards they are born evil. so lets break down evil. harmful doing in spite, with malicious intent, or by greed is evil right? these things also characterize things that are morally wrong. so what spite, malicious intent, or greed that cause harm is a crying, or dirty-diaper baby committing? also, isn't 'causing trouble' by crying depends on perspective and situation? if a baby is hungry and cries because he/she needs food and is considered making trouble, then any human with the need to eat and ask for food is also causing trouble by the same logic. ordering food at the restaurant would also be causing trouble. and 'trouble' also depends on perspective. in my opinion, feeding my baby because he/she is hungry isn't trouble. if i'd consider it as such, maybe i should never have had the baby. QUOTE(RiC3xBoy @ Sep 10 2005, 7:50 PM) I personally think a "Good" person is someone who actually does good things just cause as it is not altered because of the reward or punishment. A "bad" person on the other hand, is someone who does actual bad things and not have even 1 spec of regret or guilt. In other words, I believe most of the world is neutral and it is rare to find someone who is truly evil or good. As for the baby, I suppose people think they are innocent just because they can not be capable of evil acts.  generally speaking, don't babies make people happy by just being themselves? |
