The Nature of Humankind

While raising a child the father always wants him or her to become strong and capable of facing the dangers of life. If a father is raising a boy it would certainly be important that he makes his son understand that he must become a strong man that never says yes and surrender. The humankind nature includes an instinct of using anything available to make sure that it will survive.

Tools that were created by humans to encourage people and make them face their destiny are amazing; poets, leaders, beliefs, culture. All of the mentioned are ways of reaching humans and make them become followers of certain ideas and paths. Religions are also a part of the equation. Some people consider religion a transportation to reach god while others prefer their own ways, and others neither prefer this or that. The secret of uniting people is finding something shared between them and making them the guardians of it. By doing this and by giving them the feeling that they are responsible of protecting their similar people and culture, humans could fight and kill for that.

Imagine yourself staying in a room for a month and being lectured about certain beliefs all the time, wouldn’t you be affected by these teachings? So what about being taught all your life about what is wrong and what is right, does this give you a chance to create and add? Some say that t is fine that people are taught about culture and rules of life because they still have the opportunity after that to create and add to these beliefs. The question is how many people think about creating and adding instead of only following?

This is even forbidden in certain cultures and communities. Making this forbidden could be explained as a block to stop improvement and could also be explained as a safety wall that prevents people from ignoring law that is better than chaos. We should remember that the world and the rules were made as a result of chaos that used to be before us.

Even the usual rules that we have at these days and include the duty of protecting yourself, your country, your religion, your culture, and everything else you have been taught about is clashing with other rules of other cultures and is creating an invisible and lovely chaos.
