Animal

We are animals. Civilization, thousands of years in the making. The animal, millions of years in the making. Animal instincts etched into each cell of our being. Survival, procreation, deeply embedded into our souls. We think ourselves apart from, superior, but we are animals, just like the rest. Civilization in constant war with the animal. The rules of the jungle do not square with the rules of civilization. Millions of years versus thousands. The instincts of the animal difficult to mollify. We think ourselves superior. We are animals.
