So I've been thinking about how some people I know think that humans are not inherently good, but inherently evil. And I've gotta say, maybe it's just the optimist in me, but I don't think that's true. I think that every human starts out good and is inherently good.
I mean, hello, logic, can you think of an evil baby [Stewie does not count as he is fictional]? Babies, the youngest humans, are all things innocent and good.
And... I don't know where I'm going with this.
I think that true evil doesn't exist, and if you're trying to tell me that you are evil, you're telling me a lie. I think that anyone who thinks they are evil.. is not evil, but wishes they were. And I don't understand that. It's probably just because I am an optimist, but I truly do not understand how anyone could wish they were evil.
I think that if you are a bad person, it's because you chose that. You are not inherently bad [or, evil, though I've already stated my opinion on that term]. You chose to be a bad person.
Maybe it's just because I like to believe in choices rather than fate as I prefer to think I am in control of my own destiny. Or, again, maybe it's my optimism.
And I think I'm done. I hope I don't offend any of you by posting this.
