human weakness
Susceptibility to temptation
Human weakness refers to the flaws, vulnerabilities, and limitations inherent in people—susceptibility to temptation, emotion, fatigue, or moral failure.
The phrase often appears in contexts of forgiveness or understanding: It's just human weakness; we all make mistakes.
It can explain lapses in judgment, failures of willpower, or moments when someone falls short of their ideals.
Sometimes used to humanize figures who seem otherwise strong or virtuous.
