Human Rules
Everything is driven by human needs: while
animals satisfy their needs according to instinctive and unchanging patterns,
humans pursue them in ever-different and new ways, inventing solutions, social
orders, and above all, rules and rules and rules.
Every society, from primitive tribes to modern states, is based on rules: it is
not so much society that makes the rules, but rather the rules that make
society. If we only followed instinct, we would still be living in caves (maybe
it wasn't so bad, who knows).
