Human nature

Introduction

“All men by nature seek for knowledge." - Aristotle

As the above statement suggests, it is in human nature to seek for knowledge. However, there are many ways of gaining knowledge including experiencing and observing. Aristotle believed that knowledge can generate the taste in our life that urges us to adopt a systematic and rationale approach to deal with all the matters and issues (Charles, 33 - 40).

The determination of saying that man is a living creature in the country is related to other, equally important to determine the nature of man. It says that man is a being having logos, a living being endowed with speech and reason. What, ask, this term is closer to human nature?

In this way opens up before him the world, more a man has the world, not just the surroundings or environment (Strauss, 40 - 42 ).

In my notion, human nature means a set of different qualities and traits that formulates current behavior of an individual and different desires and wishes suggests future behavior. This behavior or way of leading life and handling things depicts what this person is and his desires and wishes depicts what he wants to be. As different individuals have different qualities and traits they tend to portray different behavior and ultimately they have different nature (Bertman, 134 - 143).

Another perspective of my ideology of human nature is that whatever an individual is today must do some good for this world and whatever he wants to be in the future must show the continuum of concept of betterment of the world.
