That was posted by Abra on a topic on the "General Lucid Discussion" Board and it got me thinking. This was in reponse to a question about doing evil things in your dream. If you dream or lucid dream (with or without control) of you doing things that are considered truly evil, does it come back to this idea that at the core, humans are evil beings?

Don't get me wrong, we all know humans are capable of doing great good as well. But at our core, our very heart, we are always tempted to do the wrong thing. This might not be a 'major evil', but it still comes down to this basic idea of our core being "rotten". That even if we hold certain morals while we're are awake, that these can disintegrate by us doing something as simple as dreaming.

So do you think humans are Innately Evil? If you do, why? I just want to see what other people think about this as well. If you don't, what are your arguments?
