Human nature is something, I believe, is widely disputed. Are we inherently evil? Are we inherently good? Is the answer to human nature found in science or in religion? Many questions surround human nature. Many whys. Why do we love? Why do we fight? All these questions boil down to what individuals wonder about themselves.
It is in someone's nature to want to work outside, while another wants to work indoors. We could point out several characteristics and behaviors that we all share, but we are also so different from one another. We constantly ask ourselves why we do what we do? Is it because we are in a group or our own person?
Several books and meditations can be found for finding your own personal human nature, though I believe, that our nature is a result of working with and against each other. A weaker personality will bend and shape itself to the dominate personalities that it respects or fears. When dominate personalities confront each other and do not bend fighting and wars occur.
Will we ever be able to truly understand each other? We are all so different yet so similar that I don't think that will ever truly have the neutral Grey utopia so many people dream of. Instead, there will always be strong black and whites, forever pulling at each other.
