[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It's empathy. It's innate. [/quote] Agree with this. But why is it innate? Again, I am far from a fundie Christian. I'm speaking more from a spiritual view than a religious one. [b]Where does that innate feeling of good vs. bad come from? [/b] [/quote] It comes from the same place that urges a mother to care for her newborn infant, that urges an grown animal or human to care for an abandoned baby/child, that urges an ant to follow the ant in front of it for the greater good of all ants, ... It's nature. It probably originates through some complicated procedure of natural selection and evolution, but humans are probably not quite advanced enough to fully comprehend it. What does it matter where it comes from? It helps us survive as a species. It's not necessary to make up some higher being to profess eternal gratitude to in order to reap benefits we cannot see.[/quote]
