The '''human condition''' encompasses the totality of the [[experience]] of being [[human]] and [[life|living]] human lives. As humans are mortal entities, there are a series of [[biology|biologically]] determined events that are common to most human lives, and some that are inevitable for all. Going back to the Old Testament parable of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden (they ate from the tree of knowledge and became ashamed of their nakedness) humans have faced a conflict between their biological existence, and the intellectual rationalizations that they are capable of. In other words, the conflict between the biological forces, such as death and mating, and the ability for humans to intellectually and emotionally come to terms with these events and the ongoing way in which humans react to or cope with them is ''the human condition''. However, understanding the precise nature and scope of what is meant by the human condition is itself a philosophical problem.
