I can't talk for everybody as I've only been in my situation, but from what I know by now I don't think that it's possible for a human NOT to experience self-loathing at all.

:bunny::bunnyhug:
All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

Well, if nothing I've said has convinced you that it's at least concievably possible, I don't know what will. :shrug: Do you agree that it's concievably possible for a human being to not have feelings of greed? (Given that they exist in a radically different culture than the one you and I are a part of.)

Well, that's exactly what I am having doubts about.
I'll try to express this as clear as possible...
I am certain that the feeling of greed can be avoided when understood. When analyzed and observed their roots, when we shed light into all it's ramifications. Solving through reason.
I think that greed is an instinct that becomes active in situations of necessity. Now, could some people lack this instinct? I don't know but I am more inclined towards thinking that we all have it.
Perhaps there is a method of education that is able to make one automatically reason with this feeling right from the start, so fast that it can go unobserved? :tongue:

It is conceivable... but this question will never be answer by philosophy.

I believe this is quite feasible. Whether or not it can happen in this world, to our society, remains to be seen, but feasible it most definitely is.

Maybe not, but perhaps anthropology or even psychology might have some useful contribution?
