Human beings are capable of great good and great evil from "summary" of Man, the Unknown by Alexis Carrel
Human beings are a complex blend of light and darkness. Their nature is a battleground where good and evil wage a ceaseless war. They possess the ability to perform acts of extraordinary kindness and compassion, yet at the same time, they are capable of inflicting unimaginable cruelty and harm upon their fellow beings. The potential for great good lies within every individual, waiting to be awakened and nurtured. Acts of selflessness, generosity, and heroism demonstrate the heights to which humanity can ascend. These moments of greatness serve as a testament to the inherent goodness that resides within the human soul, shining like a beacon in the darkness of the world. Conversely, the capacity for great evil lurks within the hearts of men, ready to be unleashed at a moment's notice. History is replete with examples of atrocities committed by individuals who have succumbed to the darker impulses of their nature. The depths of depravity to which humanity can sink are a chilling reminder of the fragility of the human spirit and the ever-present threat of moral decay. The duality of human nature is a source of endless fascination and terror. It is a reminder of the precarious balance that exists between good and evil, light and darkness. The choices that individuals make determine their path in life, whether they will embrace the light or succumb to the darkness that lurks within.- The true measure of a person lies in their ability to navigate the treacherous waters of their own nature. It is in the crucible of choice that the essence of humanity is revealed, for it is in those critical moments that individuals demonstrate their capacity for greatness or their susceptibility to evil. The eternal struggle between light and darkness rages on within each of us, shaping our destinies and defining our humanity.
