The Power of Good and Evil

 "The science of good and evil" by Sam Harris,http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-10-02/sam-harris-on-the-moral-landscape/ instantly caught my attention as I was viewing my Google Reader. When you were a little kid, your parents taught you the difference between good and bad. But as I thought about it even more, who knew there was actually science behind morals? But are people naturally born evil, or do they choose their own fate? The truth is there is both good and bad in everyone. It is really hard to not engaged in some of the evil in the world. We are faced with everyday. And sometimes it is easier to be bad to others than to treat them good. The forces of evil are a lot stronger than the force of kindness and caring. Why is that? But what amazes me the most is when people are thrust upon life experiences that  that actually make them better people. The people who that wear smiles and a positive attitude everyday even though they are handicapped, poor or abused . These kind of people are the ones who are the reason there is good in this world. Because without them, we would be without hope.
