Our wiring affects our intellectuality emotionality physicality spirituality. From evil to good from devil to angel from idiot to genius from vicious to kind from stingy to generous from selfish to giving etcetera etcetera etcetera.
How many varieties of wiring and how many combinations of hardware to make how many different combinations of homo saps? An infinite variety or finite?
No two people are wired the exact same way. Even so, one's "wiring" doesn't excuse their doing evil. Doing evil or good is a choice each person must make; it's never something one has to do. Knowing what's right but not doing it is still a choice.
A majority of evil stems from selfishness (being focused only on oneself). Good, on the other hand, comes when one focuses on others. No matter what position one has in their life (king or peon, CEO or slave), each person has the ability to do good or evil. Yes, there are consequences to that choice. Many times doing evil seems to be beneficial to the doer while doing good may cost them. Lying and cheating may bring wealth, while giving of oneself to help others may cost in time and/or money.
Choosing to do evil is easy. In fact, the world is geared towards doing evil. That’s why when someone does good it stands out. For example, stores assume they will have theft and therefore budget it into their pricing. It doesn’t mean they want it to happen, rather that they know that it’s inevitable. However, when a person helps pay for the groceries of the person ahead of them in line when they are short of funds … that’s not expected.
Choosing to do good takes work. Many times it takes sacrifice (time, money, reputation, etc.). While most people know that good is the better way, they chose evil instead to avoid that “sacrifice”. Now that may seem strange, as logically there would be more of a sacrifice made if one were caught doing evil (fine, jail time, damaged reputation, etc.) than if they were “caught” doing good.
People aren’t born wired to do evil. It’s something they learn (parents, society, friends, media, etc.). There’s no guarantee that a child exposed to 100% pure good won’t turn evil, nor is there a guarantee that a child raised in an environment of 100% pure evil will stay evil. There’s a better likelihood, but each person makes their own choices. However, when people start calling good evil and evil good, that choice bends towards evil.
