  • Human Nature... is it that excusable?

    "I'm not perfect..."

    Heard that phrase before?  I know I have.  It's been thrown around like some cliche when someone trips up, fails, or botches anything and what's worse is that because of people's lack of understanding on what that idea means, we've chocked it up to mean a simple phrase connotating the imperfection of a person... and pass it off...

    So...

    when a murderer murders... well he/she isn't perfect... it's human nature
    when a rapist rapes... well he/she isn't perfect... it's human nature
    when a politican lies... well he/she isn't perfect... it's human nature
    when a preacher falls... well he/she isn't perfect... it's human nature
    when a student massacres... well he/she isn't perfect... it's human nature
    when thief steals... well he/she isn't perfect... it's human nature...
    when a cheater cheats... well he/she isn't perfect... it's human nature

    is it really that excuseable?  Is it really something that should be passed off and left as a excuse for people to use as a means to excuse sin?

    So when a murderer kills, it's fine because that's expected of a murderer since he/she is human therefore, it's human nature....
    When a rapist victimizes again, it's alright because a rapist is still human and therefore it's human nature...

    Sure we make a fuss about it and complain and blog about how this dude cheated on this girl... or that politician didn't live up to his/her end of the deal that they promised... or how this preacher was involved in a scandal w/ the church secretary and left his wife and 4 kids for this former church employee... but at the end of all of the complaints, blogs, and anger... nothing is done but, "Oh well, it's human nature..."  yet the pain, the heartache, the scars are still there and not one answer to show for what can be remedied about this nature that seems so cursed and broken and fallen...

    I've found one answer... though not the most popular since it's also the most absolute... probably a touch one-sided... and very objective... but no other answer offers a solution to this seemingly horrid excuse that is so inexcusable and yet is so often passed off...

    No other solution measures up quite like this one... one answer is that perfection is more of a state of mind rather than a nature to be... another just says that evil just is... another calls human atrocity an entropy of consciousness who then says it's a necessary thing to have...

    these answers have not suited anyone but the simple-minded and/or ignorant...

    only one answer not only has destroyed human nature and the pride that comes with it... but also has repaired that same psyche into something new and wonderful... sort of a resurrection if you will...

    but you reader if you are a pragmatic relativist or a relativist of anything will be extremely offended by it...
