Are we humans Good or Evil by nature?

When we are first created, we started from zero or Nothing just like a newly assembled PC - You cannot say its functioning or Not unless you install an Operating system as a guide/instructions for that PC.

ma evil ta kung wala tay conscience pero kung naa murag dili man tingali.

is human conscience built-in when we are created or developed through learning?

it is partially built-in and developed through experienced. They have what they call collective unconscious which initially defines our being.. Similarly correct is the principle of Tabula Rasa.. Either way, one perspective can not perfectly explain the complexities of the human being. That is why, many philosophical inclination have risen.

on my first point regarding the basic goodness, it only means that human by its primitive form is good. notwithstanding with the so called evil deeds since that evilness is not inherent to the human nature per se.

when can we say there is evil? it is when there is morality. In its absence, everything else is good.

If you believe that we are being created by God then why would a good God create something that is not like Him. My answer is we are good by nature, its just that we are influenced by evil deeds that made us sometimes evil.

we are born with sins, therefore, we're bad.... however, to becoming is not by chance it's a choice..... a choice that could change u as a whole...

all humans are good but because of wealth mka huna2x ta ug dautan..

[wenlove24]

waaaaaaaa.. ohhhh please spare us the original sin crap. LOL

and you most humble and prudent sir would happen to know something concrete to back that one up?

I guess the TS should clarify first on what gravity of being good or evil.. For me its too broad to answer.

nature is just nature and we humans still fall under its umbrella
Individually we may be measured and labelled according to character, virtue & culture...all of it, at the end of the day still boil down to instinct--the very core of how we trully behave or act as an earthly being stripped down those racial, regional, cultural classifications.

We are merely "intelligent" beings above all terrestrial species and being intelligent or great thinkers cannot draw the line between good or evil.

same ra na if you see an alligator, shark or a lion bloodily tearing down a prey to morself---blood, guts spilling all over...
...would you look or see these flesh eating creatures as evil?

I don't think there's a definite or direct "yes" or "no" answer to the question

I think we cannot compare humans with animals. Thats taking morality out of context.
