First of all, the caveat ...'I have not studied Taoism, have merely considered some aspects of its teachings.' I think Tao teaches that 'there is good in evil, and evil in good.' Hence, there can be good in the worst of us, and bad in the best among us!
I could be wrong, but perhaps Tao teaches us to understand the duality of nature ...that none of us can claim to be right as the very act of claiming to be right is wrong! Such is the paradox of Tao.
People's nature is therefore best left undefined ... since any attempt to do so would contradict the definition itself.
