Is it normal to think that people are good at heart regardless of anything?

Just a principle to live by according to me. Frankly i'm quite inspired by Anne Frank's diary. I know that she had a very difficult life at a young age but even she believed about the basic goodness in people. I personally feel that although it is true that we should not try to change people around us but if someone's behaviour is bad, I believe that our presence can affect their personality to a certain extent! Simply saying that bad people having good company can improve eventually! What do you people think?

    A starry eyed dreamer you must be. No, very, very few people are inherently good people. Most are selfish, greedy monsters who will do anything for their own betterment, either actively or through inactivity.
    Enjoy life as you now believe it to be for as long as you can, and I will pray to Neptune, the one true God, that you never lose your innocence.

        You tell that to those of us who cross big oceans in small boats, especially when the weather is less than pleasant.

    I have my own theory...
    1/3 of people are basically good, 1/3 are evil and 1/3 are kind of neutral which means they kind of go with whoever influences them the most.

    I think that's a very stupid thought. People who purposely do bad things know what they're doing is wrong and people who think they can "fix them" are the perfect victims to use. I don't feel bad for people who set themselves up for these things.

      I think you lack empathy.

    There is a cynical side life here. This is the only place I have seen so much hatred and distrust of humanity. Yes, people can be selfish. But peoplecan and will surprise you. If eeveryone's needs are met, there is little reason for people to act like shit heads. However lots of people don't see much kindness so it is have d to believe that some peopke are in fact, good at heart. I see it every day so it is easy to believe.
