I took a couple philosophy classes in college (as required by the political science minor) and all the old guys were arguing over this to the day they died.<br /><br />My middle of the road, riding the fence, personal opinion is that people are not inherently evil, but they ARE inherently self-interested. Some people will do whatever it takes to pursue things that are in their own self-interest. Also, the definition of "self-interest" is ambiguous. Someone who only wants to feel good about themselves may be a serial do-gooder because *that* is in their own self-interest. (they also may brag about it all the time, but is that evil?)<br /><br />Some people only focus on their base self-interests: clothing, food, shelter - and will work hard, or steal, to procure those things.<br /><br />Sometimes self-interest bleeding into seeking power. THIS might be where evil takes over most often. A very interesting conversation to have, and yet another reason I wish we lived closer IRL. :-) Can you imagine how we could hash this out over a couple bottles of Crispin??lorihokiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603712673095340125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006216963170928753.post-9615543796469397832013-05-23T06:22:31.633-07:002013-05-23T06:22:31.633-07:00Unfortunately I think that we have plenty of examp...Unfortunately I think that we have plenty of examples of evil these days with all of the cold blooded killings we have seen this past year. :-(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
