 Two dimensions of Human Nature
 We created man in the best design
(intellectually); then turned him into the
lowliest of the lowly (morally). (Teen 4-
5)
 The fact that man knows right from
wrong proves his intellectual
superiority to other creatures; but the
fact that he can do wrong proves his
moral inferiority to any creature that
cannot. Mark Twain
 The nature of man is evil; his goodness
is the result of his activity. Xunsi
 Anyone can be a barbarian; it requires a
terrible effort to remain a civilized man.
Leonard Sidney Woolf
 The person that loses his conscience
has nothing left worth keeping. Izaak

 Human Rights
In Germany, the Nazis first came for the
communists, and I did not speak up, because
I was not a Communist.
• Then they came for the Jews, and I did not
speak up, because I was not a Jew.
• Then they came for the trade unionists, and I
did not speak up, because I was not a trade
unionist.
• Then they came for the Catholics, and I did
not speak up, because I was not a Catholic.
• Then they came for me... and by that time,
there was no one to speak up for anyone.

People are after our money. They do not want to see
us happy and enjoying our life. Papa be friend with
Mama and do not spoil our family life for the sake of
others. Papa let us enjoy our money. Do not spoil our

Now our families do not want to give sacrifice rather

they want to sacrifice us at the intuition of Satan
