For years I had the naive philosophy that deep down most people are basically good. Once I woke up to reality, my intuitive understanding of all began fitting perfectly. Moreover, predictions of outcomes have also flowed naturally, realistically, and closer to initial expectations. Of course, the scenario of people that think are good when, in fact, they are the opposite exists...many fool themselves all the way to the grave.
The Lord looks down from heaven on humankind
ReplyDeleteto see if there are any who are wise,
who seek after God.
3 They have all gone astray, they are all alike perverse;
there is no one who does good,
no, not one.
- Psalm 14:2-3, NRSV
