Theres Much Good In The World
55 Answers
AB often seems to be filled with tales of how awful people are/can be. (in news, R&S etc).
99% of media coverage seems to present a negative view of our world with constant news coverage of such things as terrorist attacks, crime, how bad things will get after bloody Brexit etc. Its easy to get bogged down in the mire with a constant stream of pessimism while forgetting all the good people and the good that they do.
I happen to think (despite what the media tells us) that humans are, by and large, altruistic.
I personally cannot even begin to count the number of times that absolute strangers have helped me out with no thought of getting anything in return (Ive received several gifts from ABers who don't personally know me from Adam)
In my work, I see everyday how many people give food, time, money etc to people that they will never meet.
I'm also convinced that a large proportion of people (not all) who resort to criminal behaviour, do so because they feel disconnected from society and have no sense of self worth, not because they are 'bad' people per se.
Just throwing this out there. :-)

Taken to it's logical conclusion is anyone bad and how it that defined if we accept we are all affected and influenced/controlled my our own mental status ? Even if true, a society that doesn't hold folk responsible for who they are, how they act, is a society that drops into chaos and soon ceases to be.

For all the argy bargy I still maintain that for the most part, humans are altruistic given the right circumstances.
We all have disagreements over everything from political views to religious belief but my experience is that we all pull together if need be regardless.
