Lord of the Flies. A story about a bunch of kids who turn into utter inhumane shitheads when faced with hardship. When first made to read this book I vehemently argued it was unrealistic: a book-with-an-agenda by a religiously conflicted person arguing against the idea of innate human goodness. The teacher at my catholic school gave me a zero as “we’re reviewing the story, not the intention or Christianity”.
I think about it every time the news reports about someone being "surprisingly nice".
