One more thing...

Just to clarify....

Scene: university biostatistics class
Time: 9am
Who: me, a friend sitting in the front row seats

out of nowhere:

Guy A: "Would you like old copies of Zoology tests?"

Me: "Uhhh...I am not taking Zoology."

Friend next to me: "Zeina, say yes, say yes, I want those tests.."

Point: Why does guy I don't know want to help me out?

Question of the Week: Is man inheritantly good?

One day I will address this question.

The question is irrelevant Zeina. To that you will get proponents from both points of view with one saying: 'if he was, then Eve wouldn't have advised Adam to eat the apple in the first place' and the other going off about how we are all good people at heart and so on. I won't even go near the 'it depends' crowd.

Its difficult to generalise on these things, so you have to assess on a one-by-one basis just like you do with patients. There is so much more than meets the eye, be it good, or bad.

Are you inheritantly good or bad? What makes you say so?

It's funny that you write this, bec. I was just hoping on my laptop from a long car drive to write about this...

I have come to one conclusion: in order to survive, animals and or humans out of necessity, are required to behave 'badly' in order to survive, then again, what is the definition of being bad and good?

Another factor that plays into this is jealousies and insecurities...where a person rejoices at others' failures because the others' success threatens his identity..

I think we are made to be selfish beings and if that quality is a negative one, then so be it
