Human Nature Essay: Evil
Everyone who has a good side, also has a very bad side. Humans are naturally evil, although people will act good, in our darkest moments we will do whatever it takes to save ourselves or get what we desperately want. We become demons.
Humans will break the rules that they’ve made. We as a species have created rules and morals for us to follow. But if we were born naturally good, we would not need rules to follow. Sometimes the rules we make for ourselves end up making us evil in the end. The rules that were supposed to be used to keep us from doing evil things, end up making people angry, sad and evil. Even the people who make the rules will become evil.
We are taught at a young age to be good. If we were born naturally innocent then there would be no need to be taught to be good. Our morals are mostly based on what we've been taught by others.
Humans are naturally selfish. We will help ourselves before we help others, we will do whatever it takes to get what we want. When trying to survive we have to help ourselves and we end up doing bad things. This is apparent in the stories of Night, Lord of the Flies and The Cold Within where some characters in all of the stories act selfish and greedy to help save themselves.
Humans are the most truthful when angry. Anger is a form of evil and we say things we might regret when we're angry, but sometimes we say things we actually mean. When we are good we try to help others and be nice and we try not to say hurtful things. When we are angry we say the truth and sometimes the truth can be ugly. We are more truthful when evil, this is another reason for why we are naturally evil.
