That’s not human nature, it’s a pathological, immature state of mind.
- GrayTextIsTruth 7y ago>immature state Human nature IS an immature state. It’s our uncivilized base instinct. So yes.
- xtian 7y agoThere’s really no indication that civilization is in any way correlated with personal maturity.
- azangru 7y ago> it’s a pathological, immature state of mind The word "pathological", presumably, means "deviating from the normal". The word "normal", in its turn, has two distinct meanings: one that is about what is desirable, the other is about what is common. On these grounds, and according to the second meaning of the word "normal", I would argue that fear is not pathological, nor is the desire to escape blame. It's quite normal. Whether some people can control this desire is the question.
- xtian 7y agoThat’s not what pathological means at all…
- commandlinefan 7y ago> it’s a pathological, immature state of mind. So, exactly the state of mind that leads one to become a business executive than?
- xtian 7y agoNo doubt, in many cases.
