Once more i am here with you again to go on with my abstract topic . Human nature,I remember my encounter with an acquaintance of mine who had been hard done by his own bossom friend.He remarked angrily,'WHY are people so bad why are men so evil,''.But i merely replied in annoyance saying.
''Why should people not be evil, are you as an individual a perfect being your self,''
I now went on afterwards to expound to him the many ways in which he also had also faulted in his dealings with other people. But his his reaction, characteristic of human nature,was to flare up and vent his anger on me.Because of course human nature is selfish,the truth was indeed bitter to this individual i was talking to.It was hard for him to take in the truth of his own shortcomings.We all try to deceive ourselves that we are more rightious, more correct than others,thats why its so hard for man to accept his faults,thats why the world today is going through so much turmoil.But i insist that things are this way because we choose to be so.Man has the will to change his ways, his thinking.How come an unpolished individual could be so dramatically changed by a new polished environment he or she suddenly finds herself.That is because this individual has the will to change his manners.It is also not so hard to find so many people in the same scenario not even affected by their new polished environment because they choose not to adapt to their new environment.And so i say it once again we are the product of our choices,we made the choices and so there is no excuse because this are our true human nature.

human nature
The nature of man thankfully has remained a paradox of the good bad and the ugly,nothing can compare with mans free will to choose his or her own path.One could choose to do evil through out his/her span of life and one could choose to do good.
Thanks to mans freedom to do as he /she wishes.Some people have argued that our circumstances,socio cultural and economic backgrounds has moulded us into what we are as adults .But what are we to say about people who grew up in extremely harsh conditions and still yet grew up into kind hearted adults.Such his abraham lincoln,and what are we to say of adolf hitler who grew up to become a monster destroying six million jews during the second world war.And yet we see people who had happy childhood and equally became wicked later in life,and we know of people who grew in the same circumstances and grew up to be kind hearted.Cerytainly we are the product of the choices we make and not what our own little world has made us to be.This is what human nature entails the ability to determine ones path no matter what.
