Tuan,
if we agree on the definition (which is the difficult part), we could say that good means to be gentle, kind and compassionate. Bad means to carry harmful emotions and actions.
First of all, I think that if we woud not believe that humanity is essentially good, therefore worth existing, we might as well all delete our profiles on Zaadz.
I think the problem is attachment to our needs. When we find something or somebody that makes us feel good, which is usually an external thing, we hold on to it and don't want to be separated from it anymore, because it makes us feel so good. We don't pay much attention to our inner self, our mind, and how it can make us feel good and how it actually makes us feel bad for all the grasping and wanting.
This happens locally and globally, in every individual, but also in the way nations and countries deal with each other.
But based on every individual's (babies, adults or even animals) need for happiness and the inherent potential for compassion, and the natural presumption that good actions and emotions make us happier when bad actions and emotions are harmful, I can only come to the conclusion that our natural space to exist is to be good.
Best wishes
