“There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with people. Given a story to enact that puts them in accord with the world, they will live in accord with the world. But given a story to enact that puts them at odds with the world, as yours does, they will live at odds with the world. Given a story to enact in which they are the lords of the world, they will act as the lords of the world. And, given a story to enact in which the world is a foe to be conquered, they will conquer it like a foe, and one day, inevitably, their foe will lie bleeding to death at their feet, as the world is now.” –Daniel Quinn’s Ishmael
Humans lived long before recorded history, and very differently than the cave-man images we're made to believe are accurate.
Humans lived for millions of years as leavers, not until roughly 10,000 years ago did taker culture develop alongside totalitarian agriculture.
When we say human nature, what does that really mean?

Most everybody has something wrong with them when they are born, it varies per person. It's a combination of genetics, environment and nurturing. but the big problem is most people are too selfish.
