Reflection Paragraph on Findings
I have learned many things on this journey through the human psyche and nature. Most of what I have learned has not enlightened me, but strengthened my case. Through delving into the deepest confines of my mind (and the internet. Thanks google,) I have been able to identify the main problems of humanity. There is only one explanation I have found for the impetus behind the evils of humanity. This may be an unsatisfactory answer to some, but the answer is that we are human. The reason that we retain evil inside ourselves isn't because of our devious intent or our malicious minds. It is not even because of the nature we are brought up in. In truth, it is all of the previous factors named together. For all of the factors previously mentioned make up what a human is. My ideas and my outlook upon this topic have not changed at all. At the beginning at this project, I suspected that humans are inherently evil. Now, that we are at the end, I feel the exact same way.

Matt, your topic is a one of a kind. I enjoyed reading your posts and I also learned a few things. In this post I like your choose of words and also the flow of the paragraph. I like the fact that you have many things to back up what you are saying. Great job Matt!
ReplyDeleteAll Life is inherently evil as those organisms which are most selfish are the ones who live to reproduce, while the selfless are often killed off through their own generosity and empathy.
ReplyDeleteEvil prevails in most closed systems containing both 'evil' and 'good' counterparts, because true evil does not cater to social norms.
All Life could be called, 'evil', but I believe you must first work to define what being evil truly entails.
