There have been many past philosophers who have tried to explain what the natural state of mankind was, but with no definite answer or research to go by, what could possible be solved? Answer: A lot.
The natural state of something is usually confused and construed by people who have different takes on the same exact ideal. The natural state of an entity is not the place that it occupies most and/or the state it is most comfortable in. The natural state of a person/thing is where it is most likely to begin or end its life. With that being said, the natural state of man can be conceived, by most, as solitude. Man is born alone, most humans will die alone, and despite our best attempts at mingling with other human beings, we usually end up feeling alone even with other people. Yes, I understand that that is not the case for all people, but it is necessary to change our mindset and think less of ourselves and more of the collective identity of the human population. Does this mean that most of us want to be alone or that we can never feel at ease when we are with other people? Maybe for some people, but that is not what the action of us defining what our natural state is trying to affirm.
The definition of mankind's natural state is something that will help us to progress, for how can we understand the nature of the world around us, if we cannot understand our own nature?
