RE: Are Humans Good By Nature? Or is This Something That Has to be Taught?

in #psychology • 8 years ago

Oh no worries. Thx for chiming in. I can see how it would be extremely tough to have to translate on a topic like this.

I'll agree that the good/bad nature is relative and sometimes mutually exclusive. While it's not perfect in anyway, I personally find a persons intention on a matter to be important. This also is very relative, since what they view as good, I could view as bad. But if they can provide me with some sort of framing/logic as to why they are performing a certain act, I could at least understand better how it did make sense to them...even if I don't agree.

I don't want this to sound like I'm trying to excuse 'horrible acts' like some have done...it just let's me better define the points where I can see we differ.

    Agree with you that...

    if they can provide me with some sort of framing/logic as to why they are performing a certain act, I could at least understand better how it did make sense to them...even if I don't agree.

    And for sure you are not excusing anything, but understanding that we are all different and have also different points of views about life and its concepts.

      Exactly :) That little understanding goes a long way for me...gets beyond the pure good/ bad to human being human.
