| mZuzek said: Yes, people are inherently evil, all you need to see to be sure is kids. Kids are evil as hell dude, society has this perception that all of them are innocent and naive, but really they do a lot of evil shit, in fact it's why you have such a big issue in schools as bullying yet that is not as strong of an issue among adults. ...however, that doesn't mean people aren't inherently good either. We all have both. |
Yes this. Raising kids mainly comes down to teaching them empathy. "How would you feel if someone did that to you" My kids will lie when they think they can get away with it (amateurs still), cheat at games, steal (small stuff), and mostly think of themselves first, sympathy has to be taught.
Ofcourse they can be incredibly sweet too, yet tears welling up out of joy/pride when that happens is proof that that's far from the norm!
Another myth is "sleeping like a baby" Babies are far from peaceful sleepers, 6 years later, still no regular sleeping through the night. The expression should be sleeping like a senior. Yet kids are innocent and naive, they don't know any better. However it's not the desirable kind of innocence. It's the kind of innocense that let's them torture bugs, snails or frogs for fun. The same innocence a cat has toying with a mouse.
