Inside An Incomplete Novel

The concept of human nature has been questioned numerous times throughout history. Debates on the issue have come and gone, but the underlying question still remains on the minds of societies across the globe :
"Are humans generally filled with an innate sense
goodness and light or are we debase creatures at heart
continuously tainted with the stains of vice? "
'Human Beings', a self-centred kind of mortals believed or should I say still believe that a good heart or performing good deeds will lead them towards the path of enlightenment.
This whole concept seemed funny to me, because beings that don't know what enlightenment is talk about path towards the same while hiding there desires deep inside them.
