No one is perfect, we all have flaws but there is a couple flaws that are evident within a majority of the people on earth. I believe that God (or whatever supernatural being you believe in) created us with a couple key flaws. Without these flaws, we would all get what we want and live a life of abundance. The flaw I see in people everyday has to do with conditioning. There are so many people that are born as Christians, Muslims or even Jews that seem to become close minded to other ideas about the world. Its almost as if their religion has brain washed these people to think exactly the same and to reject everything that is different. This happens with other things besides religion. It happens all the time in school, an individual is taught certain things and eventually is able to fully grasp it. Anything else that contradicts what that individual has learned is automatically rejected. This happens with the government as well. We are told things and we accept them.

Man's greatest flaw is his lack of understanding. Because he doesn't understand, he fears. Out of fear is born all kinds of problems. While fear is necessary to his survival, it is the pandora's box of the human condition.

I believe that the biggest flaw of the human being is the sheer inability to live together without matters of equality (power struggle between men and women, young and old), hatred, prejudice and racism. We live in a world where these things will always be an issue, but it wasn't always this way. Of course, I speak from a global sense - there are good people in this world who refuse to let these prejudices dicate the way we live, and who are working to see an end to them. These problems come from the human mind, which is capable of severe judgement of others, whether it be disliking someone for the way they dress, or hating someone for being black, or foreign, or Jewish, or whatever the case may be. Ultimately, these prejudices can grow and grow, and in the end, we start wars against people for being different - thank you Hitler and Mr. Bush.

the better area of being Human is the skill to have interplay in a society and subsequently love snort and impression the human beings around you. a centred 2d is the skill to subject sparkling up to the quantity of fixing the international. The worst subject approximately being human is self expertise as this will advance too many issues. as an occasion then you definately have communities of people who will terrorise, kill or die for a sequence of ideals that have no bearing on survival.

I agree with your philosphy. I also think you could add in the flaw of conditioning is sexuality. How a female or male should behave, think, feel, and exist is totally subjective to how society believes what is acceptable. Being your own individual is thought of as rebellion in a society that compares everything to the norm.

We are told things and we accept them. We are told there is a God and we accept that. We are given/passed down/told certain rules and we accept that. There is NO complete standard of these stories, rules, laws. So we... compete for the highest truth. Which is funny when you think about it. God said, THERE SHALL BE NO OTHER GOD BEFORE ME FOR I AM A JEALOUS GOD. Uhmmm... doesn't that prove there ARE other gods? And... isn't jealousy a sin? The biggest flaw is that we stop questioning and begin to fight over something we believe is our truth, allowing no leeway for the truth of another. If you beleive in God then check this out... we are given free will and then told not to think for ourselves. Ahhh... give me the Tree of Knowledge... I'll still eat that fruit baby!

The biggest flaw is that people get sucked into politics and religon. Every living thing on this earth is doing just fine except HUMANS . Why? because every living creature on this planet (except humans) are not tied up with crap like religon and stupid stuff like that. But humans are. So there are wars, hate, racisim, you name it..
The meek will rule the earth once we HUMANS kill each other off.

I don't think humans were created with 'flaws' as such. Yes, we have limitations, but why think of them as flaws? As for your statement 'we would all get what we want...' that is an impossible goal. It is inevitable that someone's wants would conflict with someone else's. So even in a flawless world humans could not have everything they want.

Your biggest flaw appears to be cynicism. You were born with a brain and intellect to use. Start reflecting on the positive. Life is a banquet. Quit starving yourself or you'll die very hungry.

There is no god, this is relevant to one of out biggest flaws. Humans can't conceive very well of a universe without them in it. This causes is to invent gods, heavens, etneral lives, etc...
