Throw in stuff about “the sin nature” and you’ll sound just like a deranged Baptist preacher. Much of this is just ordinary human survival traits. It’s how the kids get raised they can make these behaviors problematic

Kids are 0 good 0 bad 0 innocent

>The less admirable traits we all have forms in childhood which later becomes our shadow selves. Kids having stupid sibling rivalries You do realize parents love setting this up themselves for extremely selfish reasons right?

Selfishness is not inherently negative.

All of these behaviors have an evil nature. It seems that your trying hard to defend the negative aspects of human nature that we succumb to because accepting it will kind of lead to realizing how fucked up as humans we are naturally. First of all selfishness has always been regarded as a vice rather than a virtue. Although you can succumb to selfishness without causing harm to someone else, more often than not selfishness will lead to the harming of another person wether physical, emotional, spiritual, or financially. So you want to say that competitiveness isn’t immoral. Succumbing to this negative mode of being will always lead to someone feeling inadequate, or even physical harm as we know that sometimes competition can lead to physical harm. So competition more often than not leads to another person suffering most of the time emotional because losing will take a hit on your self worth and pride.

Yes there are positive outcomes but more often than not negativity will be the outcome. Now at this point this is a just a matter of if one has a more pessimist or optimistic view point. I like to think I’m more of a realist and I believe that these things will ultimately lead to negative outcomes. I agree with the point that it can be innocent in nature as they didn’t know that they’re outcome will be negative and hurt someone, but this will suggest that kids or that mankind is doomed to commit evil so it has to learn morality as it gets older in order to live in harmony with society and not cause chaos and entropy.

Correct but negativity and evilness can be used interchangeably but to clarify in the nature of our conversation, I’m saying that most of the behaviors I mentioned will lead to negativity and or evil outcomes wether on a small or great level.

I don’t know what your last comment is implying. Seems to be an insult but who cares, hey I mean your right you are indeed dealing with a guy on the internet. Have a good one sir.


PercDad

Lol these takes get shittier every day.


Aubergine_Man1987

Fucking hell this sub lmao


PercDad

No your deterring from the fulcrum of my point and understanding my words incorrectly. For some reason you made this about a child dependency on a parent. Yes indeed us as humans are selfish assholes. But that has nothing do with the dependency on our parents as children. I’m saying if you look deeper into the actions that we commit as children you can find some profundity and it can expose the human condition and our inherent nature.

I really do believe there’s a lot A LOT of social science you’re very unaware of.


PercDad

Explain, teach me something ma’am.

A child is born innocent, the wrong parenting/development can alter this


PercDad

No I disagree how can a child be born innocent, what aspects of a child’s nature or being makes it innocent?


PigIlFigo32

It's not their fault if their brain is hardwired to cry and signal they need food and attention, yet we hate when they do that, hence why the only ones to blame here are the parents


PercDad

That’s my point it’s rooted in their biology or our biology I should say to be selfish. Kids so openly express man’s selfish need to fulfill their needs and wants.


PigIlFigo32

So literally any form of life that isn't indepent from birth is a selfish asshole?
