People are fundamentally 'good'.

You seem more unpleasant than normal today.

 

I disagree, because I feel that there is no fundamental good.

Good and evil are entirely subjective.

 

I'm Just kidding.

It is weird when people say things like that.
I don't think I am an unpleasant person.
Maybe I have been watching too much MTV.

 

Of course. But you have your own standards of right and wrong, correct?

Do most people live up to the moral standard you expect of them?

 

I disagree. I find that there is a general international moral compass.

 

Well I mean people do define evil unlike red which would exist chromatically even without us to see it.

But since we do define it... there is some sort of collective definition.

Murder is evil because we say it is. Because it violates the safety of other people.

Seems simple.

 

i think people are born neutral but most have a sense for what is good and evil and a propensity for good that eternally travels with their soul... they just have to discover it within themselves. and i agree that our society is not doing a very good job of nurturing this side of people. i blame the education system mostly, but all this superficial bullcrap and this stupid economy are enforcing it.

 

I agree with that very much Zill.

 

edit: zilla beat me to it.

 

it makes sense. good thread spencepants.

 

i don't even live up to my moral compass

 

ze balance!

 

Fitz: But you have one.

 

Maybe your standards are too high. :biggrin:

 

when you can, i'll be calling you christ.

 

for me there are absolutes of good and evil and of everything but they are not enemies or mutually exclusive. they're wedded together and are sustained by one another

 

i shoot for the stars man

i'm bound to hit them at some point

 

To me distraction is the only evil:

good/bad dualism is itself a distraction ---

So, no. I don't think people are fundamentally anything.

People fundamentally are

 

shrugs

haha

you can call me christ...just leave out the opher
i won't mind

 

hmm. i really don't know the answer to this one. i suspect my answer would change often based on who i last came into contact with...
