Beast Within

As sentient, rational beings, we tend to take pride in having conscious control of our decisions. The hard truth that we sometimes find very difficult to acknowledge is that we are running on very biological, very fallible hardware. No matter how high above the rest of the animals we like to imagine ourselves, we are actually crawling around on all fours together with the rest of them, clawing ourselves from place to place to satisfy our primitive, primeval cravings. To beat this irrational hunger, to seperate oneself from this corporeal husk, would that not be ultimate triumph of Man over beast? Unfortunately, flesh is just as much a part of us as soul; the incoherent whims of the body jostle with emotional and logical thoughts for room within our minds.
