How far we are in a state of lengths to achieve its goals and satisfy our desires?
Desiring to achieve our goals we put a lot of effort and time. But our nature is not understood, and we often hear that some of us are moving to different ways to cater to your desires.

Dear Agnieszka,
Our nature is a piece in the whole puzzle of the unknown or partially known universe. The main actor to understand or misunderstand our nature is our brain and so far little is known how it functions.
What I know about humans including myself is that a human is a paradox, capable of good and bad. Besides that ability, there must be willingness to act in a particular direction. And it's by God's mercy that a human does good to others in the community. Just a short answer for now. Thanks.
Dear Agnieszka Barbara Najda,
The oceans and seas have changed lives forever. Saline water is part of who we are, even when it claims souls and dreams. Humans have always showed and intense relationship with the oceans.
Pouring feelings into the seas is an ancient practice. We've done it through philosophical thoughts, inspiring speeches, self-analysis, confessional quotes and universal sayings. Putting it simply, we are in love with the ocean since the beginning of time.
Best regards, Shafagat

What I have contemplated in light of what I have learned from my elders and religion all I can say is that the human nature or soul is the key to all the mysteries of the world .As discussed above it is not scientifically clear what the human soul is. If some circles have a notion of this the words and the concepts that they use are not commonly accepted in the scientific community.
What I think is the key to understand the nature is the human brain or if I could be more specific is the human sub-conscious or the parts of brain related to the intuition or the dream state is the key over here. In sufi islam there is a lot of stress on preferring the heart (the sub-conscious,dream state, the intuition center, home of pure emotions feelings and untouched thought) over the brain (logical thought often influenced by sense of greed and worldly benefit). I think that a better understanding of these functions of the brain may be able to bridge the religion and science
You are right, Agnieszka. It takes some times for ourselves to control our nature, satisfy our goals and reach to our aims. It totally depends on the unknown power, time and environment.
I remember the letter of a song of the Church:
"What is the man... the human being for giving You for him?".
I think the mysteries of the human being are revealed with Jesus words and revelation in the four Gospels approved by the Church to be included in the Bible.
Please take a look at this question on RG and see if it answers your query.

Dear all, have a look at what Shakespeare observes about human nature, as in King Lear that explores the depths of human nature, looks into its heart of darkness and reveals some startling truths.
"The story is well known. King Lear decides to divide his kingdom between his three daughters, according to the love that each declares for him. The first two, Goneril and Regan, go overboard with flattering, extravagant declarations, while the third, Cordelia, refuses to be drawn into the competition: avowals can be deceitful and duplicitous - actions, and true feelings, speak louder than words."

It is not essential to know all about ourselves. The nature has developed in such a way that we can live without knowing all about us.
We know less about ourselves, our family, our society and and our community. However it is enough to exist in the society and in the nature.
Human uses its intelligence to live, but most of the creatures are dependent on their instincts and it is enough to strive in the biosphere.
Dear Colleagues,
Good Day,
"Truth about human nature is not something already determined which we discover as a solitary investigator examining an external object or a predetermined body of knowledge. Such truth comes into realization in the social activity of dialectical interchange, one or more embodiments of consciousness encountering other focal points of awareness".
You will find this quotation interesting:
"The integral Knowledge is something that is already there in integral Reality: it is not a new or still non-existing thing that has to be created, acquired, learned, invented or built up by the mind; it must rather be discovered or uncovered, it is a Truth that is self-revealed to a spiritual endeavour: for it is there veiled in our deeper and greater self; it is the very stuff of our own spiritual consciousness, and it is by awakening to it even in our surface self that we have to possess it."

Dear Raveendra Nath Yasarapu ,
Indeed, Your question is certainly part of the answer to a given problem.
Thank you
Dear Miranda Yeoh,
King Lear is the story most of us well known. Despite the passage of many centuries, our nature is sometimes predictable, sometimes not.
Give inscrutable are the causes of our reactions and behavior.
Upright walking ape capable of many things due to its large brain. Brain can expand by using it and working on it or it can contract- and turn into an ape again -if one does not use it.
You are right Shafagat, life started in the sea, even our children are born in the seawater and when they come out (are born) the first thing they do is cry - a disappointment cry -because you took them out of the water!
One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.
--- Dale Carnegie
Human nature is complex. Even if we do have inclinations toward violence, we also have inclination to empathy, to cooperation, to self-control.
--- Steven Pinker
During childhood, the human nature is basically the same. Afterwards, there are human natures (in plural form) with each grown-up person having a distinct human nature that is shaped by many factors. It is true that there are general trends in human behaviour but environments, parents, teachers, communities, culture and events play a significant role in the construction of each human nature.
The external input that feeds a human being ought to be sorted out & judged by the recepient mature adult since there are plenty of mis-information & illusions. When some one is equipped with critical thinking & deductive reasoning, then this person will "filter" the input. Eventually, such person will have the human nature that is admired by almost all around. Did not we admire some of our respected teachers & professors because they were calm, kind, humble, honest, and helpful?
Human nature is unknown if we want to measure in totality .In this case we can not evaluate every individual to know the identity & nature .
But for every individual they have to known their identity -existence & with the known factor they can find their identity their own contribution as human being ,their development & their contribution action related to the family & social fabrics
What we know about ourselves is only a drop in the ocean of our nature,with this we merely take console ourselves thereby what ever the creator has offered as human being we ourselves are not taking the advantages of our know identity what god has offered to us just as God s' hand very long . In this light we can also say for us the Sky is limit .
This is my personal opinion
It seems that only God really knows who we are, and what you can expect from us. Disappointment world at birth, showing us our future reality.We will often disappoint even themselves.
Dear Hazim,
very interesting data. Thank you and best regards.

Humane aspects of Darwin’s Victorian values: duty, selflessness and compassion.
Darwin’s thinking about compassion, altruism, and morality certainly reveals a different picture of this great thinker’s concerns from that often portrayed by those unacquainted with his writings who focus on the catchphrase “the survival of the fittest”

Dear Colleagues,
Good Day,
"Truth is, I'll never know all there is to know about you just as you will never know all there is to know about me. Humans are by nature too complicated to be understood fully. So, we can choose either to approach our fellow human beings with suspicion or to approach them with an open mind, a dash of optimism and a great deal of candour."

Agreed with the statement "what we know about ourselves is only a drop in the ocean waters of our nature". Hence, we are still continue / conducting many research / practices to discover our human nature in which we are making some progress (we call this "continuous improvement").
If we look at this statement from different angle - sounds like there are still many opportunities for research, rooms for knowledge contribution, mystery of life that can drive us further to seek the truth / answer, sense of excitement etc. If we have total knowledge & experience of our human nature, think we are predictable, lacking the excitement of life, our brain might be idle & degrading, the world is getting boring etc.
Human nature is potentially aggressive and destructive and potentially orderly and constructive.

Human Nature in Industries
Most people initially resist the idea of limiting WIP, it requires a shift in mindset that goes against human nature and reconditions people away from “localized efficiency bias.”
So, get rid of certain habits is a huge difficulty. Troublesome is wont to luxury, privileges, etc. Even more difficult is to get rid behavior towards other people, which was founded during habits.

Dear Agnieszka Barbara Najda,
Beautiful flowers that we see around us, beautiful sunrise, beautiful colors of nature. The universe is beautiful, and people admired her from the time that appeared on earth. Mountain peaks inspire awe and lofty thoughts, like the beauty of the rivers running down their slopes to the ocean is the spacious beauty of the desert, the vastness of the ocean waters, the immensity of the sky. The weight of life, we call nature, have an impact on the human soul. It causes a person to think, and as a result he had a question - what is all this? Where did all this? Even in those days when the ancient books created mankind, the Vedas, sounded the question: "Where is all this? When there was neither something nor nothing, when darkness hides a dark, who created the universe and how? To the knowledge of this secret? And we, today, continues to ask this question. Millions of attempts have been made to find an answer, but they caused a million new questions. It's not that all the answers were wrong, all of the responses contained a particle of truth, and the volume of all Truth increases as time passes.
Best regards, Shafagat
