Do you think people are basically good or basically bad?

I honestly think neither. I believe that people are born a blank slate and they are ultimately influenced by their environment as well as their genetics as to whether or not they go “good” or “bad” (of course, depending upon your definition of these terms). Realistically, society determines the meaning of the terms “good” and “bad,” so it is ultimately up to society how people can turn one way or another.

What is your gut reaction?

My warmest thanks once again to all of you.
