People act differently in different situations I wonder if they still feel they are that civilized if they turn into something like not being so human. Few people realized that they are doing something different,and not anymore thinking right.

See there is nothing that tells me that I am civilized. I have come to one simple conclusion that no one in this world is civilized. That is really fine, a civilized world would be a boring world. You need some insanity in this world to make a lot of things very interesting to say the very least. Therefore, there is really nothing in this world points to the fact that any of us are in fact civilized and it is just something that is obviously not going to be able to nailed down. Being civilized is something that is really up for so much debate that it is not really funny. There are a lot of people who thing something is civilized but really it is wild and crazy to say the very least. Therefore, we can debate what is civilized and what is not, but really I think that the world in general is so crazy. It was never really meant to be civilized to say the very least. Therefore there is nothing that points to the world to being civilized.

Being civilized is overrated! Who really wants to follow the rules of their ancestors? Who really wants to put a limit to their personal desires? I look at wild animals on the Discovery Channel, and they seem so much happier, so much more in tune with the world. They kill, they hunt, they sleep a lot, and exercise playfully. They suffer immensely when they are ill, but they often recover. Some die early in life, but that is a natural process of the environment. Civilization keeps us alive if we have the advantage of a rich family that can afford medical bills. Civilization keeps us sheltered in our buildings where we have heated rooms and electricity to stay up all night watching television. We drive to indoor gyms when we could be running outside, wrestling or climbing trees like normal creatures. It's all nonsense.

were different from animals we are human beings, but you have a strong point there which is reassuring to note of the idea that's is going to connect the way people in a civilized society react the same you react,.
