People are capable of being good, by nature. Because of free will, however, they are also capable of being selfish, to the detriment of others.

We each sit upon the razor's edge, with the free will to be how we are, each day anew, to embrace selfishness or selflessness.

That most people embrace the selfishness of their tribe is evident by world events, my friend. How many tribes embrace selfless service to humanity and have power in this world? Not nearly enough.
