First nature or second nature?, A Human Strategy by Matt Berry, aphorism 174

174
First nature or second nature?  But no one has a right to this question today.  We are all rules that want to become exceptions.  All nature is bound, but we want our “freedom.”  That second nature we wear in public and swear by ... what is that but the hair shirt which rubs our skin raw?  ... our first nature, not outgrown, but too sore to move.
