Human Nature is the common characteristic, abilities, and disposition of people. They form the foundation of human behavior and thoughts. There are certain dispositions that make us unique as humans and others that put us in a position of disadvantage. One specific characteristic I like about the human nature is their transcendence, an ability to overcome elements of human nature that is inconsistent with one's pursuit. Transcendence is one of the most powerful dispositions of human nature as it allows us to surpass tendencies to other influences that bring us down. Example is an individual who transcends the tendency to engage in social comparison to reach a state of self confidence.
Transcendence gives us that capacity as humans to make choices. If we lacked the ability to transcend, we would have been ridden by virtually everything or have little or no choice to the influence of things around us. This ability makes us higher animals( as described by some folks called scientists). I can transcend to be happy regardless of the situation around me, or overcome certain points of weaknesses in my life and this makes us survivors - because we have the ability to overcome.

One aspect of the human nature I dislike is Memory. As much as memory brings back information of good days, it also brings back painful past, regrets, mistakes, weakness, and foolishness in our days of ignorance. Memories had made many live in regret their entire life, memories had made so many people live in pain all their life. Imagine the pain one feels each time he remembers someone he lost, most especially a loved one. Recalling certain events in the past has affected a lot of humans, in it comes weakness, making us vulnerable to people who find it as a tool of intimidation or ridicule. I wish there were no memories, humans would just live in the moment, making the best use of every moment. The cause of high blood pressure among people is as a result of overthinking, these thoughts come from memories of something in the past. People are haunted by their past because memories exist- I wish there was no memory of the past to remember.
