That's a really good question. First of all, I have to point out that not everyone will agree with you about everyone being born with no faults. What about people with Down Syndrome and other congenital defects like that?
There are so many dimensions to your question on something that blocks thinking. From a spiritual perspective, I think that being in a mortal body limits the spirit, and that we are subject to the limitations of the body and unable to access a greater thinking ability that we had before we were born and will have again after this life. But there are other things that we could not do as spirits and we need the physical body -we have to learn how to use it though and being limited during this life is an essential part of the learning process. Some people (like those with disabilities) have more limits than others, but all of us are limited. I don't know if that makes any sense or not. There are lots of theories that address your question too. Carl Rogers said that we are all born with an innate drive and potential to know what we need to become self-actualized, or to maximize our potential. But every time someone shows you conditional regard, or disapproves of you or your feelings that creates a conflict between the self-concept you develop in order to get along in society and the innate self-actualizing tendency. He is referring to a lot of little things that happen throughout your life, starting when you were a baby. Cognitive theories also have a lot to say about faulty thinking. There is too much for just one post, but you could find some books about these theories or search on the internet. Basically, cognitive theory says that we have problems because of distorted thinking and by recognizing the distortions and correcting them we can fix our problems. <font color=green>"Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible" Carl Jung</font color=green>
