    Im always reminded of the question: Are humans born good or evil?

    We’re obviously born evil or laws wouldn’t exist. You shouldn’t need a law saying not to kill or rob someone. You shouldn’t need physical consequences for crimes.

    But because humans aren’t inherently good, you do.

      Most people aren’t born evil or less developed societies without a sophisticated criminal justice system would collapse.
