Simple Plan

*I chanced upon this old comment i posted in a forum two years ago when the series of exchanges featured questions on the members’ thoughts about human nature. I’m pasting it here while I’m trying to think of some fantastic way to start this blog - something more fun perhaps.

"Human nature is good.

It is not so just because he fears going to hell and dreams of going to heaven when he dies. It is because of reason, the knowledge that is to him, intrinsic. The value of man’s cognitive powers is that it allows him the creative ability to KNOW what is good and bad. This same power of reason enables him to naturally search for a purpose-only leading him closer to his source. And this source, although admittedly incommensurable, may be characterized as the absolute good, from which no bad could possibly come."
