Day 2: Talk from the Farm, Philosophy - Do bad people really exist?

What does it mean to understand human interactions?  Should you ever hate someone for who they are?  What if you are around someone who is always rude or manipulative?    An understanding person might say that this person probably has a reason for being this way.  Maybe it was circumstance or bad parents.  But does that make them bad? I think not.

This is a massive topic that was discussed after we were drinking some Honest Tea and discussing the benefits of Coconut Milk, even though the actual coconuts are from Thailand!   I believe scholars and philosophers from Hanna Arendt to Socrates have contemplated the human condition and why we are the way we are. So I am not going to analyze the topic too much. However, I personally think that no matter how much of an asshole someone is, there is no such thing as a bad ass hole.  A rough upbringing, an inferiority complex, a confused belief system, or maybe some people are just socially awkward.  But as humans we are very much "connected/social" beings.   Therefore I think we seek out the good in people more times than not.  Even if that means putting up with a jerk - though they aren't bad.  

Other topics - good carrots, cantelope is awesome, garlic is good for soar throats!

See ya tomorrow.
