Is humankind inherently good or evil?
I've spent enough weekends chaperoning the junior high boys cabin at camp to state that human nature is inherently evil!
Actually, I'm not sure if my whirlwind tour of worldwide philosophies gives me a conclusive answer to that question. It appears as if people are awed by both cruelty and kindness, as if they are exceptions to the normal routine. The readings keep giving me an impression that humankind is incomplete, and that's what keeps it striving for God, nirvana, self-awareness, wisdom, perfect abs, etc.
