Human Good.

The debate has long raged about whether human beings are intrinsically good or bad.

We could be excused for thinking that humans are bad by nature.

But my understanding is that our true self or soul is a Divine Spark that resides in the heart.

And as this soul is a Spark of the Divine it is intrinsically good.

Because God is wholly good.  

So human beings are basically good.

But as we grow and experience we learn fear.

And fear can cause bad behavior: violence, exploitation, greed, oppression.....

There are many good people in the world.

But evil is in control.
