Of Human NatureThere is a well-know proverb that says: "To err is human, to forgive divine"... Although was an author, Alexander Pope, who wrote it in "An Essay on Criticism" (England, 1711), many people, ignoring this fact, actually believe that it belongs to the ancient wisdom of the elders, and even a few think that it comes... from the Bible! Surely it is easy to agree with the second part of the saying, since forgiveness, as well as all virtues, is a divine attribute. But if we are to accept as a definite and absolute truth that to err is something inexorably inherent to human nature, then we can easily fall in fatalism. And if we get to believe that everything in the Universe is already predetermined by some Master Puppeteer, then we could end believing that there is not such thing as free will... But I hope that you agree with me that our free will is well and dandy...
"Do not be fatalists, assuring yourself
in the belief that your destiny is what
God placed directly along your pathway;
and that if you suffer it is because it
was written, and if you rejoice it was
also because it was written."
"Within the spirit of man exists a
Divine light that is his conscience,
which illuminates his intelligence and
inspires him toward a fulfillment of his
duties."
"For if an irresistible force obligated
him only to follow a straight course,
his compliance would not have any merit;
and he would feel humiliated on
realizing himself incapable of acting on
his own free will, and that in spite of
that, he would still be subject to a
Law; but under those conditions in which
your existence would evolve, who would
be able to guide your thoughts toward
righteousness? Only the Divine light of
the conscience, which inspires man to
comply with the Law, a light which
dwells within the spirit and, through
it, manifests itself to the matter."
We must take in account that we, as humans, have not only the
material nature - the matter that encompasses our physical
body with its instincts as well as our superior senses- but
also we have the spiritual and the divine natures; matter,
spirit and conscience are what forms the human being.
In view of this, then we understand that for every decision we face in our life, we have the freedom of choice to take it as we like. Of course, at this moment in humankind's history, the bad decisions outweigh the good ones; this is the reason why, for many, seems that is unavoidable that we human make mistakes... but, all the time? Surely not. Though far from perfection, from time to time, once in a blue moon, we get to make the right choices. After all, righteousness is too, part of human nature. So, what's the true dimension of what we can call "human nature"?
"I created man with such perfection,
that by contemplating himself he can see
a reflection of who his Father is."
"The fact that I had sought the way of
communicating with men in three eras, is
because I knew that at the end of the
times, you would elevate yourself above
the passions, the carnality, and the
human miseries, living a noble life,
full of high inspirations, filled with
revealing deeds of your spiritual
maturity."
As spiritual children of God that we all are, it is just a
matter of time that we conquer our spiritual maturity, as He
explains in the above paragraphs.
Then we will properly state that: "To be righteous is to be human."
