Is your nature defined by what you do, or is what you do defined by your nature?

Answer 1

Cavey say - too hard question.no involve cloud monkey.me go club something.

Answer 2

Oooo. Really deep here! lol

In a physical way, I can see how we may defined by what others see, or how we realize we behaved. Our nature comes out in particular when times of high stress are being experienced. During those times, we may not react the way we thought we would - whether the reaction is good or bad.

In a spiritual way, we might be defined by what we believe. It prepares me for certain scenarios which might occur. I might call that 'redefining', because I have given my will and life over to someone else; in this case, God.

So what others might see is a weak person who doesn't have the desire to hang tough, while the opposite may be true. I believe that God has a better way than I do, and so I trust Him with whatever comes my way . . . . hopefully.

So now He defines me, as long as I trust Him.

Answer 3

Sounds more like a philisophical question. Which comes first nature or nurture?

Well what do you mean exactly by "Nature". Do you mean is our behavior defined by what you do or is what you do defined by your behavior?

I think that many things that we do a learned therefore are not in our nature but do to the environment where we live.

Answer 4

What you do is defined by your nature.
Other people's explanations of your nature are defined by what you do.
And a great deal of information is lost in translation.

Answer 5

Nature.
The nature of man is sinful.
Man is not a sinner because he sins,
Man sins because he is a sinner.

It may not sound right when you first read that, but re-read it, and you'll get the basic understanding. It IS our nature.

Answer 6

Hmm...I guess I don't understand this question to the fullest extent. I'd have to say there is a "Universal truth" that tops all other peoples opinions on reality. There is atoms and space. everything else is opinion.

Answer 7

I'd say both. Its a duality.
