Are humans inherently evil? Are humans bound to stay evil for the rest of eternity without any hope of change? Will there ever be such thing as "a selfless act?" Why do we feel the need for power and lust and greed? Are we ready to accept our fate and succumb to evil? I need these questions to be answered. These questions define what humanity is; moreover, it defines what humanity will be. As it is right now, most humans believe there is the possibility for good. However, this contradicts my standpoint on the issue. I need to find answers in order to provide cold hard evidence to make my opinion into fact. I want to find people who have seen the worst of mankind and tell them "You can't blame them, they're only human." I want to find people who have seen the greatest examples of sacrifice and say "That was not sacrifice. There was an obvious ulterior motive behind it." I want to know if there is anyone who can disprove my opinion. If I'm lucky, I will find someone who can.

Wow, Matt. You have done an amazing job opening this all up. I'm really pumped to see how this progresses!!! The way you've opened this up is very effective and persuasive that humans are naturally born evil. The last sentence is amusing and catchy. This helped this post stand up substantially from the rest to me, and I remember this one better.
