Confucianism says originally good.

Legalism says originally bad.

Now you do the rest, proving that you are inherently good.

I believe Human Nature is just good and not evil! But its not only good, its "For their own good". So, we may probably go to any extent for our own good. In this process, others may feel it is our evil nature. What is good for one, it might be bad for another at that time! Its just that Human Nature is originally "For their own good"! But it can't be evil!
