Just Some Questions

Do you think people are naturally selfish? Basically evil? Intent on their own distruction? OK, that was a little over dramatic. But do you think people are naturally selfish?

yes

When you look around it certainly seems that way.
People have little respect for one another also.
You see it when you're driving and they cut in front of you
to make a turn or pass you to get to the light first.
At the store when they want to get ahead of you in line
because they are in a hurry like you're not.
Leave their trash and garbage everywhere because someone
else can clean it up especially when they leave dirty diapers in the parking lot or empty their cigarette butts
then drive away.How disgusting!
If that's not naturally selfish they learned it from somebody.

I think people are naturally childish, yes. And part of being like a child is being selfish. We work our whole lives to evolve into adults...do we ever? Some of us. Definitely not all of us.

Well basically I say that people are not inately selfish if they believe themselves part of a community (group of people with similar cause). It's obvious that people are not inately selfish, for the very simple fact that people do commit acts of heroism. However, if people feel that they are alienated from a group or do not connect themselves to someone else, they, I think, have no reason not to be selfish. Selfishness depends entirely on the situation.

Hmm... I think I'm a far better mood today. Anyother time I would have just said yes, people are inately selfish bastards intent on their own distruction, because basically that's the rule most of the time... I can feel it, something good is going to happen soon.

lol. Let me know when it does so I can take part in the joy 🙂
