If You Want To Know The True Nature Of Human Beings, Look At A Child When An Adult Opens Their Arms In A Warm, Sincere, And Loving Embrace.

So often I hear that some people are good and some people are evil.

Some people choose the easy way, or the path of evil.
Some people choose the hard way, or the path of good.

Hitler.
Stalin.
Mussolini.
Serial Killers.
Mass Murderers.
Psychopaths.

People beyond redemption.
People who deserve to die.

To us all I say as Jesus Christ said,

"Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone."

I do not believe anyone is evil, or even becomes evil.
That doesn't feel right.
That doesn't feel fair.

I think it is the case that human nature,
the warm, loving, noble nature that is truly human,
becomes perverted, distorted and corrupted by unexpressed pain.

The idea that,
some people are just bad,
some people are just rotten,
some people are born 'bad eggs',
my heart hurts to think this way,
and it is only to clear to me how misunderstood and maligned people can turn into the monsters we all regret creating.

"When A Monster Arises From The Human Ranks,
Humanity Must Ask, How It Created That Monster." - David Julio Wang
