Hey, this was just asked to us by our prof and its really interesting.
"Is man born good or evil?"
Ha ha. Watch your answers.
i think man is born with the purest heart and naivety or Innocence....that is from the very beginning..that same goes with today's world and its the parents role to guide this particular child in the correct path of morality and the likes..
Good and bad is such a subjective term. I believe that people are generally well intentioned. Very few people get pure pleasure or a feeling of important through hurting other people, but people feel better by helping and making people good.
I think god created us with our wonderful brains .So it is adviced to use it. I mean you have to be good where you are supposed to be,and be evil where you have to be.
I leave God out of this. But as far as I remember, I don't remember anything. When I was born, I was just crying and sucking at mommy's tits -- that's what she said to me. So yea, I think I was born neither good or bad.
I think people were meant and created to be good, but they had fallen, and the human nature is now corrupted. That's why you don't have to teach little kids how to lie, for example - they'll figure it out on their own soon enough.
Good and evil co-exist in this world. As humans, we are given the gift to choose between them in everything we do. It is up to us really, which one we should choose.
We are human-beings created by god. Its all part of the game played by the god. We are just pans in it. However god gives us the power of discrimination to decide which is good and which is bad. Once we decide, it is up to us to follow good or bad. Hope most of the people do good things.
