| An opinion of mine ive been thinking alot lateley and ive come up with something,but i need other peoples opinions.
So,what i was thinking about,is Humans dont have a consious,or a soul,like when a human does something bad,they dont feal bad about it because they have a consious,but because the way society shapes us,ill explain.
Times have changed,and society's view of right and wrong have changed,when cavemen where around,they probbably killed other humans for food,and didint feal bad about it,because back then,society diditn deem killing wrong(this is all assumption,i wasint around back then)
but now days,most humans would feal bad about killing another human,because our society deemed it wrong,if we had a cansious,wouldint the cavemen feal bad about killing fellow humans?
another example,in the old west days,people where probably killing ppl left and right,and didint feal as bad about it,as they wouldof today,because society's eye of right and wrong has changed.
again,my opinion,is all from assumption,because i wasint around 100 years ago,or when cavemen where around.
anyway,What is your guys's opinion on this? |

I figure our society plays some part, but it is more on the values we are raised with. Quote: |

| Majority of Mankind has never been cannibals, only rare occasions. Generaly, mankind would find food from other animals, not eachother Quote: |

| THe thing is, Murder is still around, which is in direct violation of what society tells us. Waris still around, solider march in foreign lands so rich white guys, become even richer after stealing oil from the middle eastern darkskin poor people. Quote: |

| The thing is, humans don't kill for no reason. There has been conflict through the years, but man usualy kills over goods and riches. However, this became lessened, as societies came together. Large civilizations had laws too. Ancient civilizations still had rules about murder also. Quote: |

| I reckon a consious is something that has evolved to protect the on going survival of the species - because we are becoming more proficient in killing; we needed some way to stop ourselves killing ourselves in trivial situations (I don’t mean in wars.. but just to stop killing for the sake of killing).
