Perhaps not the most up lifting thought. When was the last time you thought to yourself ‘Life is so impartial’? As human beings we are automatically selfish. This is probably a survival imperative. I need food, I need shelter, I need warmth. The hunter in us can do all that by eirself. Beyond that we become social animals. I need sex. Then we realise that we can get what we need eaiser if we hang out together. The caveman ego view of the world is still in us. So when things don’t go the way we want, is it surprising that we take it personally. Its so unfair, I was late to the job interview so I didn’t get the job, so we can’t move to New York. But what about: Not that I would have got the job anyway, because I wasn’t what they were looking for. And besides, the reason I was late was because there had been an accident on the road and the police had stopped the traffic while they tried to save the lives of the people in the crash.

I think that this article is only too true. However, the animal that is lurking inside every human being will stay there no matter how we portray it or deny it. The more political we go into society, the stronger that animal goes. nevertheless there is another animal that the article mentioned. the caveman. the caveman is just another animal that we all have inside ourselves. I can feel this animal getting stronger inside my bubconsious. i find myself getting “itchy feet”, longing for the moutains. in fact every summer i retreat into the shelter of the woods, living off of the land. these two animals cannot survive togeather. when one is present the other is absent, when the other is present one is absent. it is a ficous cycle. the only way we can stop it is through the slow process of death. it has to be the slow process because if you are inquiring to take your life the bad animal is under control. besides it is not your body yet anyway. you are just hear to earn them. in conclusion, there is an animal and a monster that is growing inside all of us and are at constant confrentation. which one will triumph over the other? which one will triumph over you?
