Do you believe humans are born good? Like do you believe they will grow up to be good people unless something (or someone) comes along and teaches them to be bad or do bad things. Or, do you belive it's the opposite, or something else entirely?

good and bad are both subjective ideas, i don’t think anyone is born good or bad but grows to the standards around them. its impossible to not be raised with conditions and social effects so there’s no way to tell but i’m sure people would be a lot less cruel than bad

Everyone is born good, they don't come out the womb terrible people thinking of ways to utterly fuck someone over soon as they are born. Someone ends up coming along to ruin that purity.

I believe everyone can be a good person. Deep down, even the worst people have good intentions. But this doesn't mean they deserve to be considered a good person. Everyone has both good and bad in them, it just depends on which they intend to act on more which makes them a good or bad person.

humans are born with a few thoughts: eat, drink, piss, shit, sleep, safety. so no. whether you're "good" or "bad" depends on how you're raised and whether or not those basic needs are fulfilled adequately

i don’t think anyone is born inherently “good” or “bad” since those are kind of subjective things. i think everyone is born pure if that makes sense. if humans never interacted with anything “bad” how would we know what’s good? how do you know the light from the dark if you’ve never experienced night?
