The level of evil has come to configure a system in which it is usual to see any injustice and go unnoticed before our eyes because it has become custom. In this article I am not going to delve into the many actions that generate these injustices; However, I want to mention the evil and essence of man that causes such situations, to introduce me in this analysis I bring to quote from one of the most controversial materialist philosophers, whose works I studied and debated considerably in university spaces, it is Thomas Hobbes (Siglo XXVII), who held the theory that man in his natural state is:
โA wolf for manโ
And reaffirms his thinking by declaring that:
"The condition of man... is a condition of war of everyone against everyone" (Thomas Hobbes, S. XXVII)
In a society with the only interest to survive. Of course, this position is very far away, contrary to the thought of his contemporary Renรฉ Descartes, who logically and as you will remember, has a metaphysical current and makes serious objections to his thoughts.
On the other hand and meditating on our inner essence, whoever is from the heart a good man, knows that all human beings are not bad, that although it is true that there are people oriented by individual and collective intentions and interests that seek benefits at a high level of the harm of others, it is also true that there are many more beings who are always guided by good and just things. This type of people are the people who most populate this paradise called Earth. Wonderful human beings who only know love and their actions and experiences only know the value of people as a human being and not as a thing. So much so that you do not have to make an effort to value your deal, gestures, smile, look, presents, helps and other things above any other interest of good and love. Because the true essence of the human being is love, we must only fertilize and cultivate love to harvest and nourish ourselves with love.
Having said that, I conclude that nature, the original state of human beings is the love manifested in all the good that is promoted and experienced in every good action we have with our neighbor and society. To conclude, I quote an intellectual writer and philosopher, who left this phrase:
"Man is good by nature, but it is society that corrupts his natural conditionโ(Jean-Jacques Rousseau, S. XXVIII)
Even though the historical context of the time is marked by a deep crisis of social inequality and hard questions that led to the exemplary punishment of those who opposed the royal and ecclesiastical precepts, I see in the words of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the essence genuine of the human being.
