To understand ourselves we have to understand our brains. Its way of functioning and so on. Deep down we are animals, we even have the same animal brain that reptiles like crocodiles has. Its called the reptile brain. This part of the brain is the basis for further eveolution in the brain like the limbic system and cerebral cortex. The reptile brain keeps us as a organism alive, thats its only job. So when people go mad you could as well say that that is theyr primitiv brain taking over, they either fight or flight to survive. It is what have kept many species alive for millions of years.
However when the limbic(the motivation to live, feelings and so on) and cerebral cortex evolved(where we could reflect and think logically) we leapt forward with another view at nature. Our differnt brains, so to say, can now affect eachother so that we have endless other potential ways of dealing with a situation with. We can even overide to that exstent that we can choose to die if we want. Something that is strongly prohibited in a more primitiv brain. We are what we choose to be.
I either dont think things are so and so because its the only way to be. Things became this way and now they can become different if we want them to be. There is no way of beeing in either the human or animal world.
Also the words evil and good is a definition made up in the human brain. Its social terms of speaking.
