Topic:
“Are We Born to Be Good?”
Eastern philosophies have long
considered that humans have both
good and bad forces in them and it’s important to work on balancing the two (ideally to have the good predominate)
…while western religion sees humans
as born in sin.
In fact, many modern psychologists are now studying the positive aspects of human makeup, rather than just studying neurosis and psychosis.
Darwin's book, "Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals" put him in opposition to the belief that God gave humans special muscles to uniquely portray emotions.
He also expressed the importance of cooperation within groups in achieving survival (survival of the kindest??).
