Human Nature

मानव स्वभाव

Are human beings naturally selfish, cooperative, or both?

Core answer

A proposal to examine

The framework distinguishes basic human nature from behaviour produced under incomplete understanding. Steadfastness, courage and generosity are naturally acceptable, while cunning, cruelty and exploitation create inner contradiction even when practised. Harmful behaviour is real and must be addressed, but it need not be treated as the final definition of the human being.

Reflection

Notice which qualities feel naturally acceptable before considering what society rewards.
