As I get older I find I disagree with this thought more and more. I believe people are inherently selfish. Only care for themselves in most instances and in the event they are not socially adjusted when they are younger it becomes more dangerous. No amount of understanding will help that. I wish you were right though

@dravy81 I also think that's true, its human nature to be selfish for survival but I don't think being selfish and not being wicked are mutually exclusive. I mean, after taking care of their own personal needs, I don't think anyone intentionally wants to harm anyone else with their actions
I tend to believe that everyone is doing the best they can given their own level of evolution.
That belief has helped me to be more understanding and forgiving.

@Datura This really sums up exactly what I was trying to say. But then again like @SW-User said, there are some people who are actually just so evil that you wonder if they're actually human

@rickfreeman15 , so true. But then, it could be said that evil is the lowest rung on the evolution ladder. With an evil person, something in them surely didn't develop properly!

You are a deep thinker, if you are willing to withstand the storm you will come through in greatness.

Indeed no one is born with hate in them. That is taught to us and many politicians use that hate to manipulate us into doing what they want.

I wish more people took your attitude. You and I are on the same page.

May apply to the vast majority, but some people are just evil. Even if you raise them with good care, love, education and everything that's necessary for personal growth and development, they still turn out to be an ass. I mean, if they have to voice their opinion, I'm fine with it. If they practice some faith, I'm fine with it too, but if they spread hatred and go on killing and hurting people to make a point, that's the act of evil. Human are inherently empathetic, but those guys don't fall under the human category. Sometimes it makes me wonder if a different species live amongst us that look like us, walk and talk like us, but do things that no human could possibly do.
