I have to admit, this thread is making my head spin a bit. I should have taken more philosophy in undergrad.
But at the risk of totally missing the big and little picture, and also risking derailing the thread...
Could the gist of your question be an example of black and white thinking? (ducks and cringes) All or nothing? KK, I find you to be nice. I believe that I am nice, but I certainly have done or said not nice things in the past. I don't know anyone who is either all nice or all bad.
I believe we all have good in us, but then I am a humanist and believe in each individual's potential.
Oh how I wish the world and all people in it were good and there was never evil, especially the kind that makes absolutely no sense. But it seems like that world would lose some of it's richness, poignancy, and potential. It almost seems like it would not be satisfying.
I'm just as lost, I think.
