From a structural thinking perspective, human nature is not about good or evil, but driven by three underlying forces: seeking stability (avoiding pain and risk), seeking profit (reciprocity between effort and reward), and seeking existence (maintaining self-identity and sense of presence). Human selfishness is essentially self-protection under limited resources; when energy is abundant, people are tolerant; when energy is scarce, they contract. Therefore, human nature is a state, not a label. The deepest desire of a person is to be seen, understood, and accepted. All pursuits of success, money, and relationships fundamentally respond to “I am not a mistake.” Stability in relationships depends not on morality, but on clear boundaries, value exchange, and emotional stability; kindness also has prerequisites, and true human nature is revealed under pressure. Genuine awakening is not about control, but about seeing, understanding, and maintaining boundaries. Understanding structure allows one to anticipate behavior and avoid fighting the world.
