For better or worse this is our world. Not the end of life and not the beginning, either. Just different. We live in the light because society tells us to. But we are all children of the dark. Laws are the only thing that separete us from savagery. Because the beast is there inside all of us, watching.... waiting.When civilization is no longer there to protect us, when the beast is the only thing standing between us and death,we will absolutely fight tooth and nail to survive.
A veneer of civility hides our true self-interests. Its the nature of our world, yes? I say that civilization is an illusion, a game of pretend what is real is the fact that we are still animals, driven by primal instincts. All i am saying is that civilization crumbles whenever we need it most In the right situation we are all capable of the most terrible crimes. To imagine a world where this was not so... where every crisis did not result in new atrocities... where every newspapper is not full of war and violence...well, this is to imagine a world where human beings cease to be human.
