Primary life instincts.

Principle of duality and trinity governs the world. Everything has two sides but really is one from the third point of view. Everything we do is governed by three basic instincts. Two of them you know: self-preservation and self-reproduction. Those instincts are really one, two sides of the same coin. These are our primary life instincts, something we share with animals. They are part of our nature, our guides. But if you let them govern your life they will become your prison. This prison will make us do terrible things: lie, steal and kill. It will drive us to our own destruction. It might also destroy our children and their children as we might unknowingly steal their lives too.

The only way to balance those two instincts is to make them secondary to the third one. The instinct of faith. This third instinct is what makes us human. When everything is gone: our house, our job, our money, our food, our kin. When life is almost but gone from our body, when our mind gives up and our spirit is at its lowest, and our soul is suffering its worst, there is still a flame burning inside telling us that everything happens for a reason, that we will have another chance, that we are loved and not alone. This is our third instinct taking over and making us free. When we are free we love our life, we cry from happiness, we forgive, we are reborn.
