Regression



           Scientific theories stated that human beings are once what we call now as ape, a mammalian animal.  As time goes by, changes occurred and evolution took place.

           Now, the apes are placed in the hierarchy of animals lower than human beings.  All of us are familiar on how this animal acts in the wilderness.  Though some of the behavior of human beings and apes are alike, but still, ours is more refined and proper.  Aside from the physical appearance, these and our rationality separate us from them.

            Since the existence of the very first group of rational human beings, there had been a system that is followed.  This system is known as culture.  Part of this culture is the development of moral and intellectual ability, norms, values and pattern of living.  With these things, civilization flourished.

            With civilization, the lifestyle of the people became complicated, so as the rules and policies imposed by the society.  These policies were created to inculcate in the mind of each member of that particular group discipline and highly cultivated behavior.  But these policies sometimes cross its limit, but ironically not out of bound, resulting to the deviation of its people from its mandate.  These people say that it violates their rights and it limits their sense of freedom that is why it should be removed.

            But if these policies are removed, there will be no boundaries that will regulate its people that will eventually demean the values that had been cultivated through a long period of time. They will be unchained and do what their hearts desire and gratify their senses.  And starts acting like animals again.  All that matters to them is gratification and liberation.  They never look into the deeper context of the policies that are posted and stopped using their rationality.  They let their instinct, animal instinct to be particular, eat them.

            Are you against the policy?

            Are you going down one step from the hierarchy?

            Evolve or regress?  You decide.
