Are Humans Inherantly Good or Evil

            After fifteen years of being around, I have learned a lot about human beings in general. There are many different kinds of people out there with all different qualities. Though the question comes in to mind, are humans being inherently good or evil. I believe that humans are inherently evil. Though there are many kind of evil. One can be evil towards others, or evil towards the world. .
             One who is evil toward humans would be the kind of person who doesn't care about being nice, or care about the meaning of life. There are many levels of evil. I feel the most common is the easiest way to be evil. This type of evil is just making fun of others. It is so easy to pick on someone for the littlest things. Some can be so cruel and lead one person to become homicidal or suicidal. Though in the long run these cruel people will get it back in worse ways. The next level of being evil is on a physical level. Some people enjoy inflicting pain on others. I think this is terrible. Some people will go out of their way to hurt others. It is so easy to be good, but stupid ego inflated people will go out of their way to be evil. The next level would be warmongers and killers. This type of evil is usually started by the first level of evil which will built up in an overall effect to hurt the human race.
             The second type of evil is towards human nature. People can be so cruel by killing animals for sport. Unless the animal will be used to feed a family, it is not fair to end the life of an animal to put as a trophy on ones wall. Some people pollute the environment stupidly. On might think that is not evil, but it is. This is so because the items that are polluting the environment might be killing animals, or cause environmental effects that would hurt the human race. An example is the gasses from factories that pollute the atmosphere allowing more radiation to enter the earth. .
             It is very easy to be good though some enjoy being evil.
