Are humans good or evil?

[Randy]

Do you think humans are inherently good or inherently evil?

I think we're born morally grey, but we learn to fend for ourselves and that can swing either way

Our nature is inherently good. We are born with an ability to distinguish right from wrong.

...then something goes wrong in some people during their development.

I'd say we are inherently evil and it shows when everything defined as good is a struggle to do but everything defined as not good comes easy. One of the things that people in general get really good at quickly is the ability to tell themselves lies and convince themselves the lies are true then blind themselves to any evidence no matter how obvious that what they believe is a lie and automatically attack anyone who challenges the lies they convinced themselves to believe.

Not necessarily, for some people its the opposite. Good natured people are out there and the good things they do come naturally to them without any struggle or a second thought.

I think good and evil are subjective point of views. Someone that most people would see as good, could be seen as bad by others. Sometimes we don't see what others see.

I agree with Bluezone. People are more evil. This is why I am a misanthrope.

Some people are truly evil, while a few are genuinely good. But most fall somewhere in between, capable of both.
