Are we humans Good or Evil by nature?

[RonIvs]

---

Human beings by nature is good. The basic goodness of human being is not bounded to morality but to its primitive instinctual need which is to survive.

Lets say, a hungry man stole a food. is he bad or good? by the definition above, he is just following his innate nature, then he is still good.

The presumption, sans all the interference, human being will develop his very goodness to its full potential.

i agree that human beings are good in nature. but your explanation is very skewed and im not convinced

is evil and bad...the same thing?

we are all good. I feel good. survival of the fittest lang gud ta.

...if gi-ilogan nimo ug life jacket ang usa ka tawo kay you wanted also to save your wife or GF from drowning, unya kadtong tawhana mao hinoon ang nalumos, are you now evil?
but you just saved your wife...so you are also good?

the end justifies the means

We all have choices to be good and evil when we grow up.
to add
There are people who are in a worst condition but is still have good hearts.

when we are born we are good because of our purity.

People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” 16 And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.
Mark 10:13-16

we started as good then later on becomes either good or evil. depende sa pagtan-aw sa tao ug sa sitwasyon. Depende pud na sa gravity sa imong giingon nga "evil"

If there is no evil, you won't recognize/realize what is good. Both should exist.

I would say good but bec. we are wounded by original sin, we have what we call as "concupiscence" meaning we always yearn to do the good but end up doing the contrary. And as beings created in the image and likeness of the Creator, we are given freewill. No one wants to be forced to do anything anyway so we struggle and aim at perfection which is the ultimate end.

@Topic

"Humans" is somewhat too broad. Like what, humans then, or humans now? Baby humans, adult humans, or old humans?
