I will choose the second

Shel Silverstein once examined an interesting question in his poem "Zebra Question". Are we good with bad habits, or bad with good habits? I believe we are naturally meant for good. There is no doubt that bad people have and continue to live on this Earth. I do contend, however, that such is the exception. People are imperfect, but all of us are searching for happiness in some way. Most people tell you that helping others makes you happy. Some souls do not heed or recognize this advice. People are happiest when they have a purpose, a meaning to life. They're even happier if that purpose benefits others. Humans are social animals; we're hardwired to want to help each other.

This is a rough draft. Edit it and change it as needed. Hope this helps!
