Examples Of Injustice In The Metaphor By Budge Wilson

Not all humans have a strong conscious, so they do whatever is best for themselves. Steven Pinker once said, “ Human nature is complex. Even if we do have inclinations toward violence, we also have inclination to empathy, to cooperation, to self-control.” In other words, this quote means human nature is more towards the empathetic side rather than the apathetic side.
