I am John Locke

I feel as though all humans deserve the benefit of the doubt. We all have choices to be good or bad. Even if we make bad decisions, that doesn't make us bad people. For example, Someone with a spouse and kids, that doesn't have a lot of money has the choice to pay off their house or buy something fun that they alone would enjoy. They choose to be selfish buy something fun and they loose their house. Even though they made the bad choice and didn't deal with what was important at the time, does not mean from the bottom of their heart that they are truly bad or evil. They simply chose something that would make them happiest at the time. Even if they knew it might not be best in the long run.
Every human should have the right to decide who they want to govern them for example the United States. If we have a higher power advising us on how to behave properly it will keep peace and order between humans.

As some people may find my theories crazy and no where near the truth, there are some who agree. The following is a link to a blog of someone else who agrees with my theories:

I was not the only person who explain my theories others wrote about them and put their own spin on how they think things work. Not only was the battle of good vs. evil mentioned but Dennis Prager a writer for the National review online, also mentioned how innocence to the truth can cause the greatest of evil to occur unknowingly.

Infants, so full of love, the most innocent stage of the human life. The begging of life, when there hasn't been enough time to inflect bad or evil thoughts upon the innocent beings. Now picture two kids at the age of 15. One child grew up in a home with parents who did everything with them. They went on trips and did things that were fun. Not only did the parents help the kid do good in school but supported their choices to do good things with their life. This child reaches adulthood with a good life ahead of them filled with a positive aspect on the future. On the other hand, the other child grows up in a home with one abusive parent and another that doesn't spend time with the kid. Allowing the child to do what ever they want including not doing school work. This child starts to fail their classes. As school gets worse they start hanging around with kids that give them a negative aspect on things. After all of the stress of school and home life the child grows up to become some one who hates happiness in others, so they then begin to punish happy people. The point of this example is to show that everyone starts off innocent but, with the wrong experiences can very easily be lead down the path to darkness.
