With so much idle time, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. In between the course work (school) and the course work on the site, I’ve done a lot of thinking about who I am and who the people I know are. Through the blog-a-day challenge, I’ve learned that human nature in many ways pits us to be the people we are whether we like it or not.
When I first started the blog-a-day competition, my goal was initially to document my life and point of view while trying to understand where I was going in life. In the beginning, probably my biggest fear was deciding if I wanted to be an endocrinologist or a teacher and if I would ever repay the people who have given me so much.
Since that day, I’ve learned that not everything is as black and white as I liked it to be. In my first couple of post, I spent a lot of time living in my head and expressing “hey arnold” thoughts like, “if we we all did our part, we’d all be able to accomplish great things and blah blah blah”. My humanitarian beliefs haven’t faded at but I’ve come a long way and have realized that I need to be more practical and more assertive. I’ve realized that some of these things are human nature and that whether we like it or not, they’re a part of us.
Human nature, in my opinion is what controls our ability to evolve and in many ways socialize. It is human nature that make us so impatient, nervous, timid, and stubborn. It is human nature that makes it hard for us to learn new habits and avoid old ones. And it is human nature that makes us reflect who we/others are.
Through the blog-a-day challenge, I’ve realized that as we grow up, we experience certain phases and events that teach us a little more about who we are and who we would like to be. As we push against the vastness, we learn to regret all the time we’ve wasted and at the same time we learn to be complacent, accepting these circumstances for what they are. It is human nature that has taught us to stand up for what we believe is right and it is human nature that will cripple us for the rest of our lives.
Sincerely, Hector Guzman
