Do we have to learn to be Good?

April 5, 2012

Debate about human nature- whether it is fundamentally good or bad- has been in controversy for a long time. If it means that no human being is evil in their natural heart, I agree to SungWoo’s idea. However, I do not think that we humans start our lives with a tiny built in morality core.

I believe that every human being is born to be good;To be more accurate, born to be naive. What I mean by ‘to be naive’ is to be good and kind because one does not have any concept or idea about the world around him/her. Not because of any kind of fundamental concepts about ethics and morality, but because of simple-heartedness and childlikeness we have at the very moment we’re born. To me, heart of a newborn baby is pure white. His/her soul reminds me of a piece of blank paper, a field covered by white snow that no one interrupted it’s pureness. So pure and fragile that even a small breeze can scratch the whiteness of it. No evil, no good,

The factors that determine real personality and feature of the person is numerous experiences and learnings that he/she undergoes throughout his/her lifetime.
