Are you truly yourself?

Are you truly yourself?

There was an incident where a bad father, who drank alcohol and abused his wife and children every day, was murdered by his wife. It was a tragedy that evoked enough sympathy when considering the family. How do you view the murder of this alcoholic tyrant husband? There was much public sympathy for the wife, but this husband also has rights.

There was a person who suffered brain damage in a traffic accident. Due to brain damage, he had problems making moral judgments and ended up resorting to violence every day. If the alcoholic husband mentioned earlier had been in such a situation, would your judgment have changed?

Are humans inherently good or evil?

Rousseau argued that humans are originally good but become tainted by evil as they live. On the contrary, Hobbes stated that humans are originally evil but are forced to be good by laws and civilization created for mutual existence. Both imply that humans become good and evil by civilization. The conclusion regarding why we should be good was 'mutual existence,' but the common conclusion to date about what humans originally were is that they possess both. So, the subject of condemnation should not be humans but civilization. The problem is that the majority of people have created this holy? civilization for thousands of years.
