*
Are we human born good or evil?*
-- The holy Bible says that God created humans in His image, and humans are
the 'sons of God'. Because of our ignorance, or because of a veil of evil
before our eyes, we have forgotten this connection, so, God sent His most
beloved son, Jesus, to show us the way to God and Heaven.
This confirms that we are born pure and sacred.
"In the Gospel of John, the author writes that "to all who believed him
and accepted him [Jesus], he gave the right to become children of God" [John
1:12]. The phrase "children of God" is used ten times in the New
Testament.To these can be added the five times, mentioned above, in
which the New
Testament speaks of "sons of God"." *[Wikipedia]*

Genesis 1:28
"And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion
over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every
living thing that moveth upon the earth."
....................
Psalms 8:4-9
"What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that
thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the
angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to
have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things
under his feet: All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth
through the paths of the seas. O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy
name in all the earth!"

The Hindu treatise 'Bhagwat Gita' states that all plants and animals
have souls. A soul has to be born in many forms of animals and plants, and
is ultimately born as a human. As humans are the most intelligent creatures
on earth, with their souls being part of God's energy itself, pure and
sacred, they have the power to understand that the entire creation is
relentlessly involved in eating, sleeping, mating and socialising.
Humans have been given the power to realise that like animals, mere
sleeping, eating, mating and acquiring material wealth and success is not
the purpose of their lives. Humans are supposed to realise that they are
God's energy themselves, hidden behind the veil of evil and materialism,
which they have to pierce, so that they can attain self realisation and free
themselves from the cycle or birth and rebirth (moksha).

I think, Elham can tell us, what Koran says about this.
*Why do I often have the feeling that we ,the so-called intelligent**
beings have the tendency to self-destructions?*
-- I suppose that it happens because they start realising the hollowness and
meaninglessness of this material world.
*Is it innate or driven?!*
-- I believe that it is innate.
have a nice day,
