“Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.”


“People often claim to hunger for truth, but seldom like the taste when it's served up.”


“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

1. We make harsh assumptions

3. We ignore facts

"We hate being bored"

That's not a secret fact

[onlydeathmaydie]

I think attraction to darkness is more attraction to the mysteriousness of darkness and mystery in general.

In reality, all thirteen points are valid, yet at the same time, we already know the answer to whether we are good or bad. The answer is both. Every person has the ability to be good person and every person has the ability to be a bad person. A better way to look at this is to think of it as a war. Some people answer more to the nature of evil than of good, and vise versa. What it really boils down to is free will and choice.

I’ve lost my faith in Humanity as a whole because of the negativity it has and what it does to others. Although, not every human is bad in nature. There are very good people in this world as well. But, it’s rare to find some these days.

So, I don’t think Human Nature is Good or Bad. It’s rather Neutral because of all the morals and other things we have. We can be Good. We can be Bad.

👍By definition, human nature includes the core characteristics (feelings, psychology, behaviors) shared by all people. We all have different experiences of the humans in our life, and this is where the disputes begin. The group you are born into will pass on its particular ideas about what makes humans 'human. '

[SamElle]

Ooooo i definitely make assumptions about people when they do something but then I’m more forgiving to myself when I do the same thing. I’m working on trying to give people the benefit of the doubt!

I guess humans are complex beings. Depends on the individual as far as morality goes.
