One thing that interests me about human nature is that EVERYONE tries to be a good person. There dont seem to be any exceptions to this.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying everyone IS a good person. Only that everyone tries to convince themselves that that their morality is good.
Even serial killers often claim they were doing "gods work" as if somehow murdering innocent people is a good thing.
I think it is in this quality that there is the most hope for humans, even when we loose our way. The fact that everyone, no matter how disturbed they are, is always looking towards a moral compass, even if that compass is broken.
@freemo God has given us all a sense of morality, yes, it has been skewed because of sin, but we all internally know what is right and wrong.
@masterofthetiger @freemo These are all interesting perspectives. I don't believe in religion, but I always found the taoism idea that good doesn't exist without evil to make the most sense. As for morality, I think it's interesting to read up on what parts of our brain dictates right from wrong and how this part is damaged on people who commit pure evil, or even people with no compass who don't necessarily kill people. (Jon Ronson goes into that in The Psychopath Test)

Agreed the psychology and biology to such things is completely fascinating.
