Moving toward dystopia

With school shootings happening on a regular basis, It is seems to me that society is sadly moving toward a dystopia. We all wish there was world peace and that there was no evil in the world but unfortunately humans are naturally fallible. Sometimes, I find it really hard knowing how much hurt, anger, hatred, death, evil and negativity there is in the world and I wonder..If we were created in God's image, then wouldn't that mean that God has all of these negative qualities somewhere within too? Seems I better read up on this a little more before making such an assumption.

Human Nature suggests that humans are inherently good and I do believe this however many times, those who behave badly tend to be so because of their environment. It seems that only a small percentage of those who grow up in negative environments actually decide to take a different path despite where they grew up and what the were taught. Technically, we are all brainwashed little pods until we realize that we can do something with the knowledge that we hopefully retained during the 12 years or less of free public education.

What do you thinK?
