Reply #9: Consider Socrates defence [View All]

[Az]

He was accused of teaching his students evil. But he countered why would he do that for they would only turn around and conduct such things against him as soon as they had the chance.

Society would not exist if we did not turn to each other to help each other. That is what society is. An expression of our basic goodness. Good and evil in the end are an expression of how an action impacts individuals or society. If we were naturally evil we would all be holed up in caves throwing rocks at each other instead of working together.
