The Great Mystery of Humanity

Humanity can be defined by few words and is dictated by natural laws which occurred on their own. The purpose of this is to explore and explain the governing laws of human nature. Granting the description of humanity to any creature means that, behaviorally, they follow the laws herein described.1

The Laws of Humanity2

1:Humans are animals.
By this I mean that humans are creatures. A natural creation. They live habitually and act on instinct.3

2:Humans have reason, which they use to benefit themselves.
By this I mean that humans affect their habits and instinct in order to secure greater things for themselves.4

3:Humans are reasoning animals.
Like all animals humans have the instinct to mate and will use their reason to secure a mate which is more genetically befitting or pleasing to the human in question.5

4:Humans are rational.
All humans have the ability to make choices that advance the whole. Either as a race, social group, family, or any other functional collective.6

5:Humans are irrational.
All humans have the ability to be selfish and make choices that benefit only themselves. Therefore hindering the race, social group, family, or functional collective.7

6:All humans,eventually, die.

    i agree with you azekiel the bible is not a instruction booklet. personally i wouldnt consider it a guide either. I call it a reference to what people do and how they act among others

    Well in my opinion there is no Great mystery of humanity. It's been written out for us for many of hundreds of years. It's a book of instructions for life, it called the Bible. U should try reading it

    I'd add a seventh. All humans have the need to discover the world around them. I'll let you make up your mind about the rest of that.

    All in all, good. Other then the one I mentioned, I'm sure you will come up with others.
