To be honest I think some people are either born good hearted and sweet/kind while others are just born plain evil and selfish. It also has to go back to the nurture vs. nature debate honestly. Some that grew up in loving homes grow up to be loving adults or vice versa. For example I have known people personally who have the sweetest and most loving/kind parents yet they (the person I know personally) are so mean and vicious also another vice versa.

You're welcome

Everyone are born pure. Only few retain that pureness. No one is born bad. It surprises me that most people chose A option. People just get polluted by others.

By nature we are self serving, and selfish. But that doesn't mean evil or cruel, it just means we look after ourselves and our interests first, before we do otherwise. If there is an aberration to thay natural state, it's a learned behavior or mental illness.

One thing that I believe is that we're selfish by nature.

I don't mean that in a negative way, I mean it more in a "it is what it is" kind of way.

I believe that we only do things if there's something in it for us, even the most seemingly selfless of acts hold a bit of selfishness in them.

At the end, to some degree, we do what we do for us.

Very evil at its core but people find ways to justify themselves to consider themselves good.

God says otherwise.

Jeremiah 17:9-10

“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?

I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.

[Apple1996]

Everyone has a bit of both those sides. The selfish/bad side shows easier tho. Warm hearted/good side people have trouble showing. But get to know someone deep enough and both these things can be easily seen.

When you’re old enough to start making choices, then you’re old enough to choose if you want to walk a good or bad path

[jennifer_bloom]

I’ve met bad people but most are trainable and changeable and I say most because some have no intention of changing their behaviour

[BCRanger10]

I vote A. Sure, a lot of people can practice empathy and natural virtue, but it has to be taught and learned.

[Guy13]

Evil and Selfish for sure unable to either know or do Good.

[SpaceGalaxy]

Easy to find out. Just disagree with people here on GAG and have a different opinion and see how you get treated.

[Nazgol]

Interestingly I thought about it too.
Definitely A... unfortunately. I wish it wasn't like that though..

[EnglishEuropean]

It's a mixture. We can be selfish when we need to but we can also be social.

[SmokinAces2000]

Extremely flawed, evil, tyrannical, you name it

[Anonymous]

Most people are mostly indifferent to you.
