Humans have the great ability to slowly justifing bad things for a greater good. Not to say it makes it ok just saying most people who do bad things in thier minds thought they were helping in some demented sense. Its human nature to want to belive that they are doing what they are supposed to like being selfish not understanding that for everything they take for granted came from someone elses work or suffering. We forget that ther are other people out there. This is not a U.S. thing by the way this is everywhere in every society in every econmic circle. We simply try to think what we are doing know is important when actually its not. I'm guilty of this alot too.
It is Human Nature...

Yeah... thing is, our brains are so overly inflated and superiour to everything else, we can in fact come up with amazing stuff.
On the other hand, if we decide to go with silly concepts and notions, we're actually worse than anything else nature came up with. We easily beat volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis, without even trying too much.
Our hunger for illegal drugs made from natural resources kills a whole lot of forest and other assorted bits and pieces of nature. Our hunger for "magic" tiger and rhino bits makes animals go extinct. Limp dick? Sniff mummified tiger shlong! It's just insane.
Along come the Taliban and tell us not growing a beard is to be considered a capital crime for it makes men look like women.
If anything, it is human nature to be completely and utterly random... with a tendency towards evil. A cat or dog or just about any other animal, domesticated or wild, poses more or less calculable risks. A human, on the other hand, might turn into ye olde ravaging bloodlusting wildebeest over just about anything. Snap. Just like that.
It's human to be but an animal. It sometimes takes seemingly superhuman strength not to go all frothing and hating on our ook ook brothers and sisters. Too bad.

The first paragraph...No
Second....I wish we were all like that.
I love how you phrased that, thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing video with us. It says everything that we people need to follow for a greater mankind.Frozen Donkey Wheel2 said:

Why does human nature being selfless seem to be listed with the negative things?
Well, I can say it is Necromancer nature to be fucking awesome.

No no no. I did not say that everyone is inherently selfish and inherently not selfless. I said that human nature isn't to be selfless (which is what you said... just read the first quote) and explained why. If human nature is to be selfless, then there would be a society at some primitive point in time such as I described. That cannot be denied. I then go on to say that human nature is to be selfish, however what I also did is direct you to Ayn Rand. I was referencing her philosophy, and was hoping that you would pick up on what I was saying, but I guess you didn't take me up on my offer.Happy Yay said:
You'll see what I mean if you read even a brief introduction to what Ayn Rand is supporting with her Objectivism ideas.
You are making the same mistake as a couple others have made in this thread in saying my argument was something completely different than it is.
Also, it isn't the dopamine that makes us not be fully selfish, it is the fact that if we don't exhibit kindness (read: Kindness, not selflessness) then we understand society would collapse. Thus we do our part.
There's a few other minor flaws with what you wrote, but I don't want to come off as a jerk so I'll just let them lay as they aren't really important to the argument.
also remember the worst stories make the best stories.
for me it comes down to the ego mind.
if a 15year old kid walk up to me and punches out of nowhere in the stomach, il just take it and move on. no need to assert myself, i know i can fling him around like a ragdoll. but i choose not to, for that will only make things worse in the end. and he just punched me, its not life threatening or nothing. so no biggie
Reaction is a choice, and often that choice is guided by the ego mind. which leads to bad choices at times.
you dont get angry, you choose to be angry. Its all about controlling your ego. everything you do is a choice.
sometimes you slam a door hard, sometimes you swear at someone etc... all could have been avoided if you just let your ego go, and think of Everyone and the long term.
