My belief about human nature is best summarized by the thoughts of Fr. I think that the idea that man is a hypocritical and contradictory isa true idea. All people, whether they like it or not, have opposingcharacteristics. These undesirable attributes are prevailing in everybody.Not one person, of reasonable intelligence, can truthfully say that theyhave never lied. Even, if they are mostly truthful, there is time in everybodyslife that a lie, a falsehood, an untruth is present. It would be ignorant to saythat one single person is immune from the trait. Also with the example of beingclever and stupid. Both qualifications are present in a persons life within anygiven time. It is not hard to understand that man has very hypocriticalcharacteristics, but the more important question is why?.The inconsistency in peoples lives raises the question of why are peoplethe way they are? I am a very religious person and believe that God has areason for doing everything. What that reason is, I am not in a position to sayand that is the reason I pursue my religion more. That is not to say that aperson can not control their own lives. It is the persons own responsibility tomake their own decisions , therefore if a person does something hypocritical, it isnot fair for them to say that it was because of their human nature that drovethem to do it. God may have the plan, but it only works if a person takesmatters into their own and hands and take responsibility for their own actions.In closing, God works in mysterious ways. If a person believes that theyknow everything about the Lord, what is the purpose of following their religion? Man is often confused about their life, the way they are, what they want tobecome. Human nature may account for some of this but the rest is left up tothe person alone to figure out and overcome. ...
