Hoarding Your Nuts and Tendencies of Good and Evil

Did you ever wonder why a squirrel hoards nuts? How does he know to do that? Do the other squirrels get outraged when one squirrel has all the nuts and there are starving squirrels all over the forest? Everything considered "evil" (it seems) is acceptable in the survival of an animal - theft, hoarding, killing, even eating their own young. However, when we humans engage in this behavior there is a reactionary judgment and this reactionary judgment is caused by our morality - there is something that separates us from animals - religious people call it a spirit, atheists call it morality, spiritual people call it our soul - no matter what we call it (even god) it causes us to judge what is considered an otherwise natural reaction in our survival programming to be (now) bad. If we are the evolutionary products of some creator, and we required this animal programming to get to this stage (i.e in our survival from animals to an intelligent being), and we are then given conscious understanding of our actions (at some later level of intelligence), than the evil (our natural animal tendencies) served a purpose in getting us here. Killing, hoarding, stealing and the like all work perfectly well toward survival. And it would be perfectly understandable for this or that creator to have created both evil (natural instincts in survival) and good (a later ability to understand that these actions are now bad). The problem is not understanding all this but actually having some motivation to develop your morality in lieu of your animal. And most of us do not have the ability to recognize when we are stickily following our innate programs at the expense of the development of our morality. This is essentially what habits are - looping our programming. Serial Killers are really just running programs which are innate in our genetic code. Killing is perfectly acceptable to animals. Serial Killers have suppressed their concepts of right and wrong to satisfy a program. The way in which this program comes to fruition is through it’s use. Once a serial killer kills the program recognizes itself. Killing then becomes progressive as the serial killer’s mind is indicating that this program needs to run again (that is why it’s there). All programs we have seem to me to be progressive - that is the more we use them the more we need to use them. For example, people who engage in deviant sexual behavior like sado masochism are running programs concerning our innate genetic programs of dominance and submission as well as violence. The more they engage in this behavior the more they want to engage in this behavior often leading to behaviors which transcend fantasy (i.e. actual rape and killing). People who have a sense of moral outrage at specific immoral acts do so as they have developed their morality to a level which no longer permits one or more particular programs to take hold. Original sin is simply our genetic instinctual programs which without morality (often called god, spirit, soul, consciousness, etc.) would result us in simply being animals . Genetic code predisposes some individuals to have variations of the functionality of these programs. That is to say our genetic code predisposes us to use this program or that program more prevalently than it may be used by someone else. In short, we humans aren’t all that hard to figure out. It’s dealing with our inherent duality which is the tough part. The key I believe it to avoid behaviors which mimic our programming. Because engaging in these behaviors is, as I noted, progressive.
