Hi. so I've come up with a Phrase I think is true and applies to all. (But pleas don't take it personally. thanks.)
"All people are naturally wicked, there is only something that forces them to be kind."
What do you think?

TBH this totally sounds like Hobbes' theory stated in book "The Leviathan" saying that men do not possess the instinct to do good or to feel loyalty.
These things only occur as an act of self-interest meaning that men are evil by nature and only are nice because they expect something in return.

It's more like we are born inherently pure; as we get older, the drive to survive takes over as well as surrounding/circumstancial factors that affect us.

I once heard something said by a philosopher, though I have no idea who it was. It went like this:
Let's say a mother has twins. She breastfeeds them, one at a time, and when the first baby is completely full, it will let go of the nipple, showing that it's had enough. The mother will then go to feed the other child, and the one that has already been fed will see this and try to push the other child away and continue sucking, despite being full a moment ago.
The point of this was to show that all people are born with sin, that even babies who do not know anything know selfishness.
