Human nature was learned. Man did not have it at birth and could not acquire it except through fellowship, and it decayed in isolation.
The sensibilities anyone had were not their own, they were things learned over the course of life.
Your perception of good and evil was never yours. It belonged to your environment, to the religion you followed and wholeheartedly believed to be true, yet had been indoctrinated into you from the beginning.
In this world there were no absolute goods or absolute evils. There were no Absolutes.
Laws were transient.
For a baby, none of these things mattered. If something looked good and the baby recognized it as good then, like a beast, it acted on instinct and ate it.
If something looked like a toy, then it was a toy, even if it happened to be a colony of insects fighting for survival.
Well, sadly, human cruelty was innate.
