there is no man vs nature
there is no man vs man
there is only man vs himself

we are wired in a way where we have it in our capability to react to external stimuli in which our five senses perceive. this information that is picked up by these senses paint a extremely comprehensive and detailed image of the world in which we inhabit. would it be possible that a human being without these senses become capable of perceiving a relative world in which he undoubtedly exists in? it is impossible to imagine what that would be like in a sense that for those of us who are able to sense the world would experience absolute and total death of the ego. with no reference point to dictate his actions he is literally free to simply be, a clean slate conscious detached wholly. would this being feel normal emotions or would they just simply not develop due to the fact that there would be nothing to stimulate those emotions? could this vegetative state be close to that of what the Buddhists call becoming enlightened in a state of nirvana?

i ask these questions because i am curious whether we are born with human nature or if our actions dictate our nature. innately science would explain to us that we inherit various traits of our ancestors, things that have been ingrained within the genetic code to help facilitate our own survival and evolution. but i would argue that it is certain experiences we perceive that would trigger these so called genetic inheritances that cause us to react in those tendencies. so perhaps we are equipped but are not necessarily primed to fire at will. i will argue that under favorable conditions that individuals who are born biologically healthy are equal relative to one another, it is the energy that the individual absorbs through his senses that cause him to transform and react. ultimately it is his choice whether he wants to expel the energy or to confine it and carry it with him. i would say that it would be healthiest to take moderation into consideration because both positive and negative experiences should be held onto, yet within a fine margin. still humans find the desire to extend into the extremes which could cause dire consequence, ironically enough this is how barriers are broken and how the unknown is discovered.

our stupidity can be masked by courage and vice versa. this makes us so horribly abysmal yet so beautifully unique. as above so below. i am nothing yet i am everything.
