The Devil in Us

Struck by a thought. Probably nothing new... but enough to HAVE to write it somewhere at this very instant.

We are so evil.

Was recalling conversation with HX ysty. Laments on how people are selfish. How people can grow to be self-centred, or "less good" as we age...

No one taught us to be selfish
No one taught us to harbour bad thoughts
No one taught us to cheat to betray
No one taught us not to be caring and kind
No one taught us how to be self-centred
No one taught us to be proud
No one taught us to cry and scream
No one taught us to blame
No one taught us how to hate

On the contrary,

We learn how to be selfless and helpful
We learn how to care for others
We learn how to be kind
We learn that we should think good of others
We learn how to be humble
We learn how to curb and control our tempers
We learn how to empathise and understand
We learn how to be good lovers.

Is that why we have MORAL education in schools? To reverse all the evil innate in us all...
Is that why our kindness have to be evoked during those charity shows?
We seldom think of the sick, the old, the poor, the disabled until they appear on tv shows or appear on the streets.

Its quite interesting to be fully convinced that we are so evil by nature. Some religion have of course said that of men long before. But due to the lack of faith, it never really strike a chord.
Its almost like...
If my intelligence is only 90, i can only learn so much academic stuff in life... OR if i met with lousy teachers all my life, maybe i'll be less "clever"...
So if my evilness level is high, there's nothing much those education and prep talk and moral lesson can do ya?

It doesn't mean that I am an exceptionally bad person. It just means that the "moral education" i had in my life is not that fantastic?

Yay, so it feels quite ok to be evil ... haha


This topic brings me to another conversation I had with WW ages ago...
Was wondering whether monogamy is unnatural. All human beings are probably borned fickle and meant to be polygamous. Monogamy is invented by this society because it SEEMS correct and nice. Hmm.. nice

haha.. but all these are so pointless *yawn*

Society is a constract after all...

Final thoughts:
THe world is a simple place. The evil society complicates it.
Life is just a simple thing. Human minds glorify it.
