At the beginning of human history, man lost some of the basic animal instincts in which an animal's behavior is embedded and by which it is secured. Such security, like paradise, is closed to man forever; man has to make choices.

No instinct tells him what he has to do, and no tradition tells him what he ought to do;... Viktor E. Frankl

Im either too low or too highly prized; when elate I m envy'd, when meek Im despis'd William Blake

Jane Austen
