You are not a slave to "human nature."

In fact there is no such thing as human nature. What we call human nature is really nothing other than habit energy.

I think it would be more accurate if we called it that because human nature carries a sense of something that can't be changed or is inescapable. So there's a lot of human action that gets excused by that term.

"Oh we can't avoid war, hatred, exploitation, superiority complexes etc. Because it's human nature. "

No it's habit energy carried on through generations in the mental, emotional, social, and environmental conditioning which shapes the individual, their beliefs, and views through culture. While at the same time the culture is shaped by individual points of view.


When we call it habit energy we see that those acts that are destructive to the self/ other are indeed a choice although unconscious to many. There's always the option for redemption you are not a slave to it.
