Abhijit NaskarHumans can be as good as they can be bad. Because goodness and evil both are biological traits of the mind.
About This Quote
Without a doubt, the human mind has the potential to be good or evil. Each of us has the power to turn our thoughts and actions in either one direction or another. The problem is that we are taught that acts of evil are acceptable while acts of goodness are not. Society has given us certain rules to follow and it is up to us to follow them.
If you break the rules, it’s your own fault for not following them. The fact is that human beings can be as good or as bad as they want to be. It all depends on how much effort we put into making our lives better.
