Are people evil by nature?

[HighIntensity]

saint don't you know the dark side drives us to evil, use the force.

 

[saint808]

Good and evil are simply perceptions and judgements of any event.

so there is no true reality.... only perceptions?

Evil Evil, this I say
Is among us all most everyday
But there is none more evil, this I'm told
Than that wicked Bastard named ROMAGOLD!!

Isn't good and evil ever present universal concepts? Without one we couldn't have the other, so couldn't we say thay evil is created by good and vise versa?

torn between yes and doesnt matter


which one did you choose

Yes, of course.

And no, it's not based on subjective criteria - it's based on a universal (well, Earth-i-versal) objectiveness.

Humans consistently do things that they believe are wrong. Does it matter if the things are wrong? No... it matters that the humans BELIEVE the things are wrong.

What is evil? Knowingly doing things that are wrong.

It takes a lot to find someone who doesn't violate his own principles on a consistent basis. I know a few people like that, and I'd never insult them by calling them humans.

No there is true being in the moment once you release all your judgements and perceptions.

Good and Evil only exist after the institution of law is established.

LOL! It's true. Look at something and try not to define it or reference it for a while or judge it. Your mind will begin to wonder of course but try.

It's all about the Uncarved Block!

No, it's all about an institution of law being established, unless you look at it as virtueous type of chivarly, but that is pretty much dead.

To answer the question..yes people are inherently evil...

I disagree. If that were truly the case, we'd have destroyed ourselves ages ago.
