很难说。关于这个话题，历史上无数的哲学家都试图证明过，却争论到现在都无法得到一个确切的答案。我又怎么能妄下论断呢。《三字经》里说：“人之初，性本善”，而西方哲学家则认为人性本恶，需要通过不断学习来改造自身。双方似乎都很有理。

It's hard to say. Countless philosophers throughout history have tried to prove this. They've debated it to the point where it's impossible to get a clear answer today. How can I blindly make a judgment? It says in the ''Three Character Classic": People are born good. But Western philosophers think that people's nature is bad, and they need constant study to change themselves. It seems like both sides are reasonable. Frankly, the scariest thing in my opinion is talking about philosophical problems. This problem seems as hard to understand as why Oriental people like the color red, whereas Westerners like blue. It's really hard to come up with a straight answer.
