Being vs. Believing

[Cephus]

I don't buy that people inherently want to be good. We are a social species, we require other people to make our own lives worthwhile and simplify our survival, especially in the modern world. People act to fit into society, not to be "good". There were plenty of Germans who went along with Nazism because it made their lives better by making the socialization process simpler. Good and bad are entirely subjective concepts.
