Nature and true Natural science is lawful, factual

Opinion from the Internet about Human nature:

“My goodness, but it strikes me that you have trapped yourself in precisely what you are arguing against, passing wholesale judgment. Humanity spans an incredible range which is why I choose reciprocity as my mode of operation and a web site inanothersshoes.com. It is truly a struggle to bring some or most people together. However, I have this strong feeling of prejudgment on your part which runs the risk of not seeing the reality of something precious in front of you.

i also may be prejudging but I am experiencing a feeling like that which made me leave the evangelical church.

The approach I have found that is most likely to build a bridge is “tell me about yourself.” Unfortunately this is inefficient in affecting a large group.

This also reminds me of a choice I made when I switched from engineering to landscape photography, choosing to make many mistakes rather than acquiring a teacher’s point of view, but I feel I must leave it to others to judge whether I succeeded or not. I have lived with doubt for 40 plus years.”

I fully sympathize with your point of view, and I also know why it is so difficult to accept what I am saying.

I meet, converse with many people who sense somehow that what I am saying about Human nature is true, but they still try to wriggle, go around, try to deny, reject it like fishes wriggling at the end of the fishing line being caught, still trying to escape the truth.

We try to discredit this opinion as if we accepted it, we would need to change ourselves and re-evaluate everything we have done, are doing right now which is of course terribly difficult.

As I wrote earlier what I write is not my personal opinion. It is based on a science that has been studying Human nature for millennia. Nature and science are factual there is neither “sin” in it or “prejudgement”.

And the proof is Human history with its recurring vicious cycles and how Human society looks right now.

You are making the usual mistake of identifying certain people, groups of people that are at fault, causing the problems we are in, ignoring the fact that perhaps those who accuse the “obvious culprits” might be even more guilty.

In America people pretend as if the problems we see today are all caused by Trump alone, they weren’t present before, as if the Obama administration for example didn’t make mistakes (even crimes) both within the US and even more outside of it.

There are no good people or bad people. We are all born with the same nature which is neither bad nor evil, not even sinful. At this stage everybody acts like puppets, manipulated by our inherent nature, following our selfish calculations blindly.

We are who we are for a reason Nature’s evolution determined, in order to reach a truly Human developmental level as a result. But in order to do so we need to wake up from the instinctive, blind behavior, especially pointing fingers only at others without a critical self-assessment.

True changes will come when we are to change ourselves first of all, accepting, seeing without doubt that the most destructive force - the ego which prevents us from accepting, justifying others in order to connect to them above instinctive criticism, rejection - resides in ourselves.
