INSTINCTS
There are two basic insticts which rule a person and humankind:
1. The herd instinct -- the most natural and the most animal. It rules us everywhere and constantly. It says -- follow the herd the crowd! Then you can stay alive!
2. The instinct of ownership -- the most human instinct. Only some kind of animals have it. It says -- crab and keep everything as much as possible, then you can stay alive!
Other instincts are minor and temporary ones.
Human is a deeply IRRATIONAL creature. Most of things a person does are unpractical and even idiotic. Only minor part of a person`s life is just for living. Majority of actions of a person are just senseless. You can check it out. Write down all your activity during a day and check it next day. How much of it is totally practical?
Humankind likes to think about itself as a rational things but its is not true at all.
