What is best in Man?

 - That which likens Man to Beast.



This has all been said time and again but I will repeat it nonetheless:

The more advanced the society, the less advanced it's average individual. Why? The Social Contract creates an environment in which power and freedom are traded for safety and comfort. Comfort is Man's most wide-spread drug and society provides it in large doses to all those who conform to it's rules. A life spent in such comfort creates an addiction that few can and even fewer want to break. All well and good for most people. But some people, myself among them, feel they have lost more than they have gained.

What does it take to break the addiction?

Just as an animal born and grown in captivity doesn't have much of a chance at surviving in freedom for long if it is freed suddenly (as opposed to progressively), so Man, too, has much to learn, and many instincts to rekindle, before he may call himself truly free once more.
