Human Nature

                                                           Understanding Human Nature

It is merely impossible to confine and define human nature in a pre-defined pattern and literal sense. Human nature refers to the distinguishing characteristics, including ways of thinking, feeling and acting, which humans tend to have naturally. Speaking broadly human nature is grand and encompasses multiple spectra of emotions and behaviour.

Complex! This miniature word best translates the true essence of human nature. It is unpredictable, confusing yet unique in many ways. Obviously one's nature cannot resemble to others and it is this very quality of human nature that makes it evoking and intriguing. The concept of nature as a standard by which to make judgements was a basic presupposition in Greek philosophy.

Specifically , ''almost all'' classical philosophers accepted that a good human life is a life in accordance with nature.interestingly every individual exhibit different kinds of actions but anthropologists have indentified some "Human Universals'' that are traits common in every human nature. They are classified as being playful, scientific, legislative and gossipy. According to a piece in "New Scientist", a good 90% of how we act consists of automatic, instinctive reactions pre-determined by a few basic processes in the brain. Perplexed! Yes because the debate on human nature is endless. It is dedicated to investigate the biological, social and environmental factors that underlie human behaviour. Nature is one of the striking features that make every human being different. Although many philosophers are of the idea that humans share common nature but it is not intelligent to judge every aspect from same perspective. It is outside human scope to control and change one's nature something natural cannot be modify.

Generally specifying, topic on human nature is vast and it would be unfair only to tag it as negative. Human nature can be soothing and relaxing too. Kindnesses,

being helpful, friendly, caring are some of the well mentioned good traits of human nature. Not everyone is cruel, evil, selfish, dominating and negative. There lies a whole world full of interesting aspects of nature ranging from complex, bitter to soft hearted and joyful people. What kind of company you love depends on your decisions. It is defined as a concept that distinguishes inherent properties of individuals and allows them to perceive their own way of living. Human nature and relationships is also closely related. Your relationship exists in your thoughts and imaginations which mean you allow it to be dependent on one's nature. 

Human nature encapsulates every lens of conscious activity of humans and governs it. It is indeed the master of all. Rectification of human nature is hardly possible and it our very quality to justify our acts and behaviour by blaming one's nature. The root of this subject covers a single subject that humans are defined by natures and their no limitation to nature.

Be Yourself

                                              Unique You

If You're a part of any social networking site, you can certainly claim that your eyes have hovered past any bold picture comprising the words, 'Be yourself', 'Do what you want' and other such taglines like these. These lines speak of what you should be, what kind of a person you should be like, how you should act, how you should walk and how you should live. These choices are based on your free-will; no one can force anything on you. 

    

    

A human being has the freedom to bring changes in him\herself according to their own aspirations, according to what they want and not what others want to see. One should never be afraid to change because change is good. You should not listen to what another person has in store for you until unless you can appreciate criticism and take it positively. Change is something natural which occurs in the cycle of life so when somebody tells you that you've changed, this is nothing to worry about. 

This proves that in the period of time, you've stood up for different things, you've allowed various perspectives to enrich your mind. The worst someone can to do himself or herself is to try and imulate someone because they think that the other person is considerably better then what they are and copying each and every thing of them will make you better yourself. The misconception lies here because you see, when you copy someone, you're acting, it is not your true self, that person which you are becoming is not you. You've hidden yourself deep underneath your skin and you faking to be the other person is just a copy of that person. You are not extant in this world because the person who you truly are, the traits possessed by you in real life are nowhere to be found on Earth.

The main lesson you need to learn about being yourself is to hold yourself in high self-esteem, to believe in your actions and to stand up for what you think is right, confidently. If you know what you are doing is correct, then do it. But what is important here is not to be tenacious and refusing to accept that you're wrong. There are two scenarios; the first one being, when someone insults you or disregards any of your decision and you firmly belief that your act is correct on behalf of what you think and what you're comfortable with. The other scenario is when in between of an argument or a debate, when your decision affects both individuals but you are persistent in what you think. That is what's wrong. Because matters that affect two people aren't matter that should be handled by one.

Leaving that aside, a person once said, ''Be the best version of yourself.'' This means to reach the highest goal that you can reach whilst being true to who you are, when you start copying someone, that is the lowest version of someone else. This also means to avoid hypocrisy, to show who you really are, to others even if they might not like it. ''When people talk, they lay lines on each other, do a lot of role playing, sidestep and engage in all manner of vagueness and innuendo. We do this and expect others to do it, yet at the same time we profess to long for the plain truth, for people to say what they mean, simple as that. Such hypocrisy is a human universal.'' -Steven Pinker. An original is far more worthy than a copy, a painting that is painted by a famous and reputable artist will sell in thousands but take the same scenery or the same pattern and get it painted by some amateur, it'll sell in dimes. You have to be yourself because everyone is already taken
