Are People Mostly Good or Evil? (HONGDAE)
Details
Are humans born with an affinity towards the good or the bad? If not, do humans still have a tendency to lean towards one more than the other? Can humanity as a whole be generalized more towards good or towards bad?
I believe this is a concept that many of us may have an opinion on, so let's come together and discuss our views!
