Instinct

Everybody wants to be in control, to impress people in order to progress and go further with their career. Along the process, they set themselves apart from the world. Tribal people are always at peace in the sense they are a part of the world. They fight, yes, but never go on war. They only do because we taught them to. They just take what's enough and leave a balance. There's one way of being a part of the world again. Not to leave development and return to the primitive state but simply to abandon one thing and that is dominance. Is there anyone willing to give up power and control? Everybody wants to be God. That's the greed that humans have since ancient times. (12.03.2001)

  2. There is a movie called Instinct starred by Anthony Hopkins. So that movie inspired what I wrote. I like the idea of him leaving the world behind and gone living with the gorillas. This is not to say that the animals are beasts. I found in my study that they are really smart than we think. And that they live in a closely structured organisation seemingly like we humans do. So yes, we can learn a lot about them.
