A polite thought.

Society creates boundaries by which most men live. It lays out the scope of acceptable behavior and the consequences of misbehaving. This is done for the betterment of the whole. Yet to achieve such a state the individual must relinquish some, if not all, of his Natural Rights. This act of subjugation creates a sense of security as men begin to adjust their behavior so as not to threaten others, and over a period of time these customs of polite behavior become sacrosanct.

However, I have found that the sanctity of polite customs, being oft times in complete contrast to man’s inherent nature, needs be breached from time to time. For, there are those who will hide beneath the veil of custom and with a sense of security attempt with words and deeds to diminish their fellows. Using guile and malicious intent they manipulate society’s endless desire for restraint to contest and cause discontent.

When faced with such behavior, it is then beneficial to confront the offending party and make clear unto them that though you may have given over your Natural Rights, you still fully possess the savage instinct of your species.

The rules are oft times false in that they create a sense of security that does not really exist.
