Are people fundamentally good or bad in general?

Please explain why you believe what you do.

They're fundamentally neither, and capable of both.

Good.. otherwise we’d have all killed each other

@SW-User we have tried that lol

SW-User

We’re still alive aren’t we? So we’re fundamentally good.. we have bad in us too thus the wars etc @JimboUk

@SW-User Well like I said, I believe people are born with an innocence which cant mean they are fundamentally bad but doesn't necessarily mean that they are good. Innocence can be a weakness which without protection would have got us all killed. That's my personal opinion but I'm interested in others.

Good.. the more I talk to people and get to know them the more I realise that we are all, pretty similar.. more similar than different..

SW-User

They are a mixture of both ..not a compound but a mixture so that the ingredients of good and bad keeps varying from person to person

Good and bad are subjective so you can’t really answer that

@Insomniac100 True, I'll tell you I believe people are born innocent. Which is definitely not bad but doesn't necessarily mean good.

People are so smart they are stupid

@Unequal2Trash wasn't quite what I was getting at but ok.

I believe every persons first instinct when they are very young is love, and to be loved. It’s later in life when we watch the world around us that our form of love becomes twisted.

people are fundamentally 50-50. circumstances tend to round them out to either side.
