Rational

So... Humans distort their reality by making decisions supposedly right. After some time, however, what seemed right becomes murkier than what was considered the most horrific choice (or perhaps i am merely exaggerating. Nevertheless, it was inconsiderable at that moment in time.). Thus, man becomes regretful, resentful of what they have with no one to blame but themselves. A sad fact indeed.

When a man said that it is but human to err, he actually defined what makes humanity a sad existence. One, because man is "supposedly" innately rational. Thus, any action beyond this nature becomes a wrong. Given the former nature, an explosive contradiction occurs, and man is doomed to feel the consequence of it both externally and internally. This is because of a third nature that, from my perspective, is what separates humans from objects, what humanizes man. The third nature, which is to feel, is what leaves humans utterly devastated.

Man feels the goodness or the corruption of all his decisions. More than the physical consequences, humans are bombarded with psychological effects that they cannot even define, despite all attempts. The worst part is, the human rationality cannot even posit an answer for this.

Thus, when a man said, "it is but human to err," can it not be said that the social declaration that man should be rational and moral at all times is one of those numerous errors?
