Why are people bad?

People are not bad. People are good. They do lovely things each and every day, such as making chocolate cakes for their friends, or adopting a child from China.

Stop seeing the bad side of things only! People are just as good as they are bad.

these answers are not good ^^ (above) i feel a more accurate answer is needed. not an obfuscation

you need to understand that, i guess???? i don't know, it seems so wise to be good, for you will reap what you sow, i guess apathy is one reason? i personally believe there is a spirit responsible for this, who wished to rebel against the laws of nature.

If everyone was good there will not be any jails. People murder kidnap rob rape and even torture each other not what you said. People are bad because they hate off what you have. There is always going to be a person who doesn't like you. No matter where you go that's just how life is.
