"No matter what we dream, we still are made of greed. This is my kingdom come! this is my kingdom come!"-Demons, Imagine Dragons

"Be the change you wish to see in the world." -Mahatma Gandhi

The question that has bothered many a philosopher, that has been discussed since the beginning of mankind. That is fought over by biologists, humanists, politicians, psychologists, religions, kingdoms, and all peoples around the world.

Are humans inherently good, or evil?

Much evidence points to the fact that we are all inherently good. there are stories all the time of people going beyond the call of duty to serve for their people, nation, and community. Many individuals die for their positive morally correct beliefs. They include all they. Support those who cannot support themselves and comfort those who require comforting. the fact that their are people out there shows that mankind is not inherently evil.

But does it....

Many writers will talk and write about how everyone in the world is the same and we all want peace. We hear the stories of the individuals with honor and healthy morals more because they are a dying breed in this society that we live in. Even more people follow their selfish desires and ambitions regardless of how if affects the people around them, and even people that love them. Anything from the "uncontrollable" desires of an addict, to the brutality of a totalitarian dictator. 

I personally believe neither.

Everyone is different. It is what makes humans amazing and unique. Our chemistry and brains are never the same. We all think differently and process and interpret information differently than other individuals. The environment, however, is the most important variable in bringing individuals to be good. The way that the child is taught how to act, not by words alone, but by example, is the best way to teach. 

If we wish to create a new generation of individuals. WE MUST LEAD BY EXAMPLE!!!!
