Humans are inherently _________?

Asked by Soubresaut (13714points) January 23rd, 2018

If you could only use one word to sum up your view of humanity, what word would you choose?

That is: What word best encapsulates the most salient/important aspect of humans, to you?

There isn’t a right or wrong here. I’m not looking for particular answers. I’m just curious how different people would characterize us, and I thought it could be an interesting question.

Humans are inherently [what]?

I think I have a word in mind for myself, but I’ll hold off a bit on it.

I can whip up some examples, too, if that’s needed.

Selfish was already said, but that was my first thought. My second thought is compassionate, but only until we are taught not to be.

^^^ When my son was just 3 months old he was laying on his blanket in the living room. His 2 year old sister was in the basement and she started crying about something. When he heard it my son’s little face just crumpled and he started crying too. :(

@Soubresaut I want to hear your example of yourself!

Soubresaut's avatar

Aw that’s sweet. I actually snuck it in up above ;) Also I wasn’t very clear in my wording; it was just my own example, not one specifically of myself.
