So, do we know what decides if a person develops to become more greedy, agressive and selfish while another becomes altruistic and doesn't care much about wealth and power?
"my, my! humans! so aggressive."
rape, murder, nukes, war, torture, power, seemingly unlimited greed...
why don't i have that insatiable drive?
can't all be how i was raised, can it?
do you know of any studies or philosophical insights?
thx! 🙂

My thoughts are similar, but I would consider the cause to be the lack of adversity and challenges. If you are brought up in a sheltered environment where every problem is handled by someone else, you don't develop proper empathy or problem solving skills.
