you guys sounding like nathaniel hawthorne up in here
Fuck
You know who I’m talking to
@darksintera lol what does that mean
Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote a short story about how people are inherently evil, it's about a guy who is accompanied by the devil down a dark road leading to a procession of a sacrifice of his wife "Faith" by the people in his village who are supposed to be good: the preacher, clergyman, etc. He wakes up realizing it was a dream, but is still left with this realization, he lives the rest of his days in bitter scrutiny of those around him, believing them to actually be evil people.
Young Goodman Brown is the story
I think hawthorne wrote it
Oh yeah I’ve heard of that
Not sure why I haven’t read it
you should
based on what youre saying
Yeah
I think most people think that way though
Its called misanthropy
i can relate to misanthropy a little bit
Does anybody here play shin megami tensei
i dont
Well the definition of that is a dislike for humanity. Which isn’t really what I’m saying. I’m saying everyone is inherently evil. That doesn’t mean we can’t do good. But we have to get good, we are born evil
i just play left for dead
we arent born evil, babies are not evil
I mean you see it kids
we are socialized to be that way
Persona is a shin megami tensei btw
No one is taught to lie
kids imitate their parents
i think we're born good but some of us become evil
Not the lying part
some people dont lie, how do you explain that
just like how racism is taught, sorta
I’ve never met a single person who doesn’t lie
Everyone has lied at some point
Yeah
About something

@Lambton that's the first thing all day that makes sense. Keep going, it didn't hurt did it?
Ol' abe is dead
@qwerty_😎 no it doesn’t but your message and other messages from mods gets annoying
> we arent born evil, babies are not evil
