What is the nature of the human person? Human nature is very complex. We humans have the most highly developed social structure and most of our nature, our personality, involves interpersonal relationships. In general, people are kind and loving toward one another, but under times of stress and mostly through a lack of inadequate nurturing in the early years of life, sometimes tend to be violent and aggressive. This is not the nature of humans that have been in a balanced and loving environment. Some would say that people who do come from what may seem to be a balanced and loving environment also have an undercurrent of a violence and aggressive nature. They are just better at disguising their true nature of who they really are. These rare people are referred to as sociopaths if their dysfunction is less severe, and psychopaths if their dysfunction ids very severe.
