Does anyone here think we humans are predisposed towards evil, good, neutrality, or any other state of thought?
Myself, I think we are born predisposed to nothing if our mind is healthy; if illnesses occur though, we can be guided towards either extremely generous mindsets or murderous rages. Our predisposition is likely reflected upon in our morals; however, if one is not predisposed towards good or evil, then they have nothing to be represented in morals. People with no clear tendencies usually have an easy to ignore moral code, or none at all.
Myself, I'm rather amoral...I don't have any definition of good or evil, I just do what feels right at that moment completely devoid of moralistic interference.
One other question: Who here thinks they could kill another person in a situation other than war?
I sure as hell could.
