In a person’s lifetime, we develop both mentally and physically, with many influences

around us. Influences on our behaviour, human nature, belief systems, our conscious minds, etc.
This is how I believe that there is a presence of such metaphysical questions translates to our
specific views/about human nature.
A metaphysical question is a question about the essence of things and human beings. A
lot of these questions usually go unanswered. These metaphysical ways are why we have
different ways of explaining human nature and specific views, like for example religion. There
are people that have different belief systems, believe in different Gods or some people do not
believe in any God or belief system at all. Some do not believe in an afterlife or a place beyond
Earth that you spiritually go to when you pass away. Is Heaven real? Are there angels watching
over us? When your heart stops beating and your lungs stop you from breathing, and your brain
slowly shuts down, does your spirit leave your body? Were we different people in a past life? All
these questions cannot be answered because no one here, living, on this Earth can say that they
have experienced it with proof. So yes, there is a presence of metaphysical questions because
why else would people wonder this and want to know these answers but have no way of finding
these said answers. In fact, I do partially believe there are spirits among us, but the idea of a
higher power and where we go/what happens to us when we pass, does not fully make sense in
my opinion. This presence can have an influence on people’s different views on what is “right”
and what is “wrong”. In one view of religions or traditions can be the opposite of another
religion. Looking back on to the text, people that believed in “The Sages” in Confucius had the
five causes of deficiencies with cures of how to change something about yourself, to
accommodate to the Confucius ways of human nature. Whereas in Hinduism, they believe in the
physical space they occupy and the energy around them. Rather then thinking of their own body
and mind it’s self. In Hinduism there are multiple different aspects of belief systems. Such as
Braham and Atman along with different philosophers to back up their specific views.
Having the presence of these metaphysical questions can make huge differences in the
understanding of views and in the understanding of human nature in both Hinduism and
Confucian approaches. If there were a lack of these metaphysical questions, there would not be
any questions about these beliefs of human nature, spiritual beliefs, the universe, etc.
