Well, this thread is a place for us to stretch our brain muscles by asking or attempting to answer some phsycological questions. I'll start with this:
Does greed make us bad people, or is it basic human survival instinct? I feel that it can make us evil should we let the greed overcome us, but we naturally pursue what is best for us. That doesn't mean we can't be compassionate, I'm just saying we naturally look out for ourselves first.
I should probably establish that this should be a judgement free zone in terms of the views of others. The point of this thread is to hear the difference of opinion.
