What makes humans so human separated from all other animals? Scientists report there is only 1 percent genetic difference between humans and chimps. Still humans have been dominant on this planet and accomplished unimaginable scale of cultures and civilization. One of the critical aspects of human nature is humans' ability to grasp abstract ideas and creative thoughts. In contrast, animals are confined to something visible in the present time and space in their communication. The fundamentals of human development lie in our ability to communicate with the past and the future. The displacement and creativeness of human languages prompt us to learn more and make efforts to lead a better life. That's why we send our children to school.
While there is a positive side of human development through our ability to capture abstract ideas and creative thoughts, we often fall into a negative side of destruction and loss of our freedom. Unlike animals, humans are given the power of free will and freedom. Throughout human history, we have witnessed that when we use our free will in a wrong way, we often lose our freedom and fall into a total despair. Sometimes, our freedom or free will could be suppressed by dictators, but nobody cannot deprive free will from human nature. So the matter of importance is how we use our free will to increase our freedom.
However, it is very important to know why we are given the power of free will in the first place. The purpose of human free will is to love because without free will there is no true love.
Then, how can we use our free will in a right way? The answer lies in loving the right things that are "truth, beauty, and virtue." Our children should love truth, beauty, and virtue, through which they can lead to true happiness. Through the exercise of critical thinking, our children can find the path they should go.
