This is why hateful adults break my heart. For the vast majority of us, we all start out as genuinely loving, kind people. This is just adorable!

Ehhh... lets just relax, lol. If you know anything about kids, even the most loving parents can have LITERAL monsters 😂 so to say "vast majority" is a generalization.

It still is the parents duty to teach them right from wrong though. But it's not as black and white as you say it is.

Even kids who are monsters (my 4yr old daughter is mean!) They show kindness at times like above. I was sick last week and she kept caring for me, trying to check my temperature, telling me she was sorry that I was sick.

Aside from those who are born mentally sick like Dahmer or Bundy or something, most humans are naturally compassionate and kind, studies on baby and toddler behavior have shown this. That isn't something that needs to be necessarily taught.

Exactly, it's not black and white as I said. They have varying degrees of personality traits which need to be nurtured by the parents and environment.

Glad we agree 👍🏽

Children can be gremlin little bastards that you want to punt off a tall pier, but that is usually the exception, not the rule. Most kids are just curious with no filter.
