RE: Are Human Beings Inherently Good or Bad?

in #philosophy7 years ago

Good or bad is a perception of observer. Lets say that one commits murder, now from human point of view that person is bad. If we look, from perspective of a snake that murderer just helped a snake, one less that could threaten her existence.

Lets say that extraterrestrials come to earth. What do you think would happen? Many would say that we could come to an agreement and they would offer us their advanced technology. I ask you why?
How do we act towards ants. Do we offer them our help? Do we bring them food? No. We most of the time don't even see them. Sometimes we even intentionally step on them. I'm talking about majority of course.

Its all just a survival game where you have to live by the rules of society that you live in. Good and bad is defined by it.

Sort:  

It's all perception at the end of the day. Completely agreed!

I just upvoted my comment. Many would call me bad. I call it a survival.

Then I've made a point in the definition.

If you haven't written this I would've written loads and loads of lines on what's wrong with upvoting your comments on other people posts, but since you probably know... Good Luck.

Who gets to decide these rules? the community? the one who rules them? anyone?... yes. after the rules are defined we can use them to define Good & Bad.

Your comment is way too interesting!!.. I agree, as humans (most of us) only care about fellow humans close people to us!! and I won't call this thing "Bad".
