Are people intrinsically evil or intrinsically good?

All living things in nature follow this basic law. There is only one logic for survival in nature: to protect oneself and destroy others. In order to get food to survive, the carnivores brutally killed the gentle and kind herbivores. The vine climbed round and round the tree in order to get sunlight, and finally strangled it. Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, as a member of the food chain, must participate in the food chain to go. What, you're afraid to kill for evil and you won't eat? You're the only one starving to death. The world goes on without you. In a moral human society, the same applies. In the beginning, people do not know what is good and evil, only understand that their own survival. We analyze all the "evil" behavior of children, in fact, are to survive by hook or by hook. Is it evil for children to cry and make a big story in public, forcing parents to compromise just to buy snacks? It's all about getting what you want. In primary school, stupid students are discriminated against and weak children are bullied. Is this evil? This is the same as in nature, the old and sick animals are first expelled from the community to fend for themselves. According to human moral standards, man is originally evil, but this evil is only the survival instinct brought by nature to any living creature, not real evil. So we need education, teach children to behave, don't throw things in public; Respect other children and don't fight. See ants on the ground move don't just for fun trampled to death... In the process of children's growth, we slowly replace the wild in children's hearts with moral concepts established by human civilization, and educate children to be good. It is only when children become adults and have a complete sense of morality that there is good and evil. The moral civilization of human beings did not appear out of thin air, but was established after it had developed on the basis of sufficient strength and ceased to drink blood in order to survive. Some people eat vegetarian in order not to kill, because only eat vegetarian also do not worry about starvation; We care about the disadvantaged who can't work because there are enough resources for them to share in the pie. We support gay equality because they don't procreate and don't threaten the survival of civilization... Whenever human society regressed and people's survival was threatened, the original "evil" would be fully revealed. In times of war, different races slaughtered each other. In times of famine, people even cooked their own children to eat. When life is at stake, it's not evil to do anything to survive. The criminal law stipulates that when life is threatened, a person has the right to defend himself properly and kill the person who threatens him. In all kinds of disaster movies, the crowd is in chaos, and the otherwise good people become incredibly selfish and just want to run away and stay alive longer. If the earth is to be destroyed, aliens can only take 100 earthlings and save them, and the rest must die, then those 100 people must be the most genetically excellent, the healthiest and the smartest young men and women of all races, and all moral good will will be null and void, returning to the most primitive natural selection. In other words, the fact that we are here to discuss this issue objectively is in itself an act of standing up and talking. However, human nature in order to survive by hook or crook thought, after entering the civilized society, still varying degrees of expression. Like greed. People always want endless resources, which in modern society takes the form of money. So there was official corruption, there was a rush of shareholders, there was a burglary... Like jealousy. There is only one Monkey King, every male monkey covetously, looking for a chance to defeat him to become the king, so men have power infighting, there is uprising and rebellion to become the emperor. Every female monkey wants to get the favor of Monkey King, so women have court intrigue, secretly called each other bitch. Of course, even in modern society, people are extremely selfish. Factories pour waste water into public rivers to save their own costs. Small businesses sell food made from spoiled meat and gutter oil, with little regard for the health of those who eat it; Poor drivers run red lights just to save dozens of seconds... Modern civilization defines the above behavior as evil, and only when the cost of doing evil is higher than the benefit, people will be good. The so-called social responsibility education alone can not overcome the nature of selfishness, so we need a strict legal system. Without the restraint of civilization and morality, and without the sanction of laws and regulations, human desires are inexhaustible and will eventually bring disaster and destruction. In a way, the unrestrained development of human civilization is essentially the same as the multiplication of bacteria in two. So if you have to choose one, I think human nature is inherently evil, but this kind of original evil, which is necessary for living creatures to have in order to survive, can not be called evil.
