People can be good and they can be bad. The standard is neither.
"It may help to understand human affairs to be clear that most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused, not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by people being fundamentally people"
~Good Omens, Terry Pratchett
Still interesting to think about what makes a person turn either way. Are some babies born evil? Maybe if their brain lack empathy for example. But most are probably born good.
Then they grow up in this shitty world, their brain gets programmed with how to be, how to look, what success is, what happiness is..basically society values that serve to sell more things.
Some turn evil because they dont think there is any point in being good.
