Human Nature: Good or Evil?

In my honest opinion I think people are essentially evil in one way or another. I don't think people started off this way but over the years it has come to it. I think that the things we get taught can be used as evil instead of good. We hurt one another just for the sake of hurting someone whether it's physically or verbally. If people were essentially good then there would be no wars, no reason for walk outs and sit ins, and no reason to hurt anybody. Even the nicest people have evil in them. There is a point where people break and snap and sometimes that's the only time you'll see evil in a nice person.. Every single person in the world is evil. I don't really think there are bad people in the world just good people who make bad decisions and when they make that bad choice you see the evil in that person come out.
 We are taught to be good, nice to everyone, and to share. It's hard to do what we are taught when everyone around us is doing the exact opposite. When you are a young child you can't tell good from bad so your teachers and parents are there to tell you good from bad. Their opinions on what is good and what is bad could be completely different. The real question is what is good and bad?

  1. I do agree with what you are saying, sometimes it's the nice, sweet people that snap and do something really bad. But I feel like it's good for everyone to have an evil side. It's an easy way to relieve stress or feel better, as long as you can contain your evil!
