Again you play what I disclosed of personal information against me. This is the third time you do that. I appreciate if you don't do that again. You try to belittle my personal experience and knowledge just because you are more social. By the way, if you were good by nature as you claimed you are, you wouldn't do that. You are outright blunt in your responses to many threads. I wonder what you meant by that you "are naturally good" then!!

You seem to fail to understand what I'm saying. You just ignored the part where I say we modulate our initial responses because the outcome would be more favorable. Does that make us bad or good? By nature, I think we aren't good, but as per our final expressed behaviors and thoughts we are mostly good. You do good, because you expect something good in return. This is called reciprocity. You don't do good for humans who don't reciprocate, do you? Even when you do something good without immediate reciprocation, like making a donation, you do it because it makes you feel good about yourself, and because it gives you some social reputation, and may be a topic to talk about with your friends and acquaintances that you are charitable. We aren't even good by nature to our children. We just cannot be. No one human being is good by nature. Not you not me not anyone, not even the saints. We could be both good and bad in behavior, I agree with that. But we're more inclined to the demon part of our nature, especially when the triggers are there. But again we weigh the possible outcomes before we act.
