When discussing human nature people seem to start with good and evil. Human nature isn’t the battle between good and evil; it is the instincts people are born with. What defines good and evil is based on the experiences people have during their lives. People confuse human nature and life experiences. How people are brought up makes them good or evil, not human nature. Although human nature isn’t good or evil there are forces in both nature and nurture that affect how a person will turnout. Good and evil is the product of nurture not nature.
The good or evil in a person is not a matter of nature but rather, of nurture. Many evil people can be traced to bad upbringings and a poor environment as a child that causes their evil tendencies. Human nature deals with factors all humans and animals are born with. Instincts make up human nature. People often confuse good and evil as human nature, but it is nurture and the environment people are brought up in that makes them good or evil.
