No, it isn't human nature. Ancient Greek wasn't written with spaces.
Classical and modern Chinese and Japanese are still not written with

spaces. Tibetan is written with a syllable-boundary mark, but no
spacing between parts.

Imagine all the people
Taking the right decisions

Imagine if there were such a thing
As right decisions
