human nature

       I admit that in my last few entries, I have stated that the persuit of power is withen the human nature and that it could cause us to do terrible things such as murder to obtain it. However, I do believe that while it is impossible for us to abandon our nature entirly, we do still posess the ability to choose weather we listen to it or not. Some people actually would rather not have power over others, despite our nature. Many people in history have tried and succeded in being different than what human nature dictates, and for some it has worked out for the better. As far as Macbeth goes, while he does want to become King, he does consider both the conciquences for his actions, and how great of a King Duncan has been. Despite the promise of power (however breif it was) he does, at one point want to back out, and he would have if not for his wife. In short, while nature does not control us completely, we can never completely rid ourselfs of it.
