the mechanical man

A clockwork orange, dr jeckill and mr hyde and lord of the flies,all these novels are related in some way because they deal with EVIL.What is our nature?First of all I have to say that I´m an agnostic,I´m not an atheist as many people think.I have to state this because my opinions are not the same as an atheist, I think in a very different way.I agree with the theory of evolution, I think that we are just animals that have evolved and became this complex and difficult being called human.As animals, there are certain things that are part of our nature that we cannot deal with them.As I said, we are animals that have evolved, that have become so complex in their behaviour that as a result we have created values and rules to control things.This is so because we don´t live alone,we live with other people and we are part of a society.As members of a very intrincate society,we have rules that we have to respect in orden to stay in that society and receive benefits from it.Going back to the topic of evil,are we born evil of evil is part of our nature?I think that the idea of good and evil was created by men;an animal doesn´t know the concept of good and evil,it just behave as its nature tells it to behave.An animal is capable of killing just for the sake of its survival;it is not part of a society that tells it what is wrong or what is right,also it doesn´t have a conscience and doesn´t feel guilty for its acts.I think that the thing where is not only society,but is the man itself.The man is an animal who evolved,and has feelings,deep emotions, reason and is sentient and conscientious.Also,he has a wide range of moral values that should respect in order to be fine.It is this conscience that prevents him from doing bad things or behave in a irrational way.But,why does the man accept this conditions?just because He seeks for happiness and well-being.I know that the things I have written are obvious(I don´t know why I think so)but this was just an attemp to show my thoughts about this subject which is very interesting to me.
