If you’ve ever worked with the public, you couldn’t possibly believe that we as human beings are intrinsically good by nature. Although everyone is capable of the “milk of human kindness”, given the opportunity, mankind will always choose self interest above that of his neighbour. This is so obvious, you have to be willfully blind or naive not to see it. It’s sad but true. Most of mankind’s problems and ills boil down to the fact that we choose ourselves first rather than what’s in the best interest of the other guy. Greed, corruption, abuse, pretentions, lies, deception, unkindness, disrepect, rage, violence, as well as a lack of simple manners and courtesy mark our current culture and generation. If someone believes that human beings are still basically good by nature, then I would encourage them to watch world news consistently for one month and then reconsider their position in light of all that they have viewed. ‘Nuff said.
