Inherited vs. Learned

I sometimes look to the animal kingdom for inspiration thinking it's a simpler, more natural and back-to-our-roots kind of mentality. Maybe it's going back to the inherited vs. learned theory and wonder exactly what makes people bad. But this weekend as I watched some of the animals and birds that frequent our cabin in the woods, I realized that the characteristics they exhibit aren't any better. For instance, the hummingbirds swoop down on others and won't let them eat. There is a constant battle going on for food when there's plenty to go around. Also we have a mother doe that won't let the other deer eat any food she sets her claim to. I think she would even prohibit her own fawns from eating the food if they wanted to eat it. So far they get most of their nourishment from her so we let it go knowing it'll feed 3 and not just one. There is such territorialism (if that's a word) in nature and it's disappointing. It's the law of nature which we are a part of, so can we really expect more of people when they act the same way? Though it makes me disappointed in nature, I'm also inspired by how kind we as humans can be to each other.
