We have a good essence.

Find humanity in everyone even those who you might realize that they digress from humanity’s essence due to certain beliefs that have been put in their minds. When we look at the time of Hitler, we realize that there were some warden who were kind with the prisoners, yet they can’t go against the ruling of Hitler so we can’t just judge them to be evil just because they are following his command because they themselves are afraid to go against him, for if they go against him they shall be slain. It is well known that the prime goal of an individual is to maintain survival and boldly going against such a person can cost your life, so in that situation, an average person is not expected to act heroic and rebel against a person in control of all buttons of the empire. It happens in many situations, including societal ones and even emotional ones. We might find people who might deal with you aggressively in the presence of some higher ups because their higher ups expect them to be crude with people, but when they are alone they regain back their humanity and act in a cool humane manner. This brings us to another big question, which questions the amount of freedom we have and to what extent are we indeed free. Many shackles are put upon us and we act based on the possibilities that have been allowed to pass these shackles, yet there were a lot of possibilities that have been taken away due to these shackles. It happens in many aspects and if one is inclined to generalize, we shall then find ourselves not accepting any good from any human for their mere partisan stance to a certain coercive notion. Yet, with all this understanding, we don’t disregard the factors that make a society susceptible to be more prone to create individuals that function in a certain dehumanizing way in order to control people.
