According to Buddhism, it is the nature of man to misinterpret everything around him and then to mindlessly act on his misinterpretations. He has knowledge, but not understanding. He has accomplished what some consider great things, but does take time to reflect or to know his own mind. Buddhists say he can become enlightened if he so chooses.
