If I had to pick either one word answer, I would have to say evil. I just simply don't see/read enough good in the world to say otherwise.
Personaly, I think the only real reason why we live together as well as we do is because of society and infrastructure. If we ever saw a major collapse in infrastructure like suddnely the taps stopped delivering fresh, clean water and power went out indefinetley, we would really begin to see the real evil in people. I really don't see everyone working together to get through the tought times but instead would break down into a "every man for himself" through looting and crawling over others to get the last of the bottles water or fuel to run generators and such.
I guess one could say that is merely the survival of the fittest response kicking in but if we were a truly "good" society, we would try to help one and other out first but does anyone really see that happening?
