basic instinct
They’re all an acknowledgment of the primal, base nature of the person’s behavior. As if there are these incredibly strong forces down in there that are usually repressed but for these few days are going to be allowed to take over. And when they’re given the reins, you have no idea what might happen.
Food for the Stomach
In the ancient Greek world, people used a phrase to describe this understanding of what it means to be human. They would say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food.”2 (#litres_trial_promo) They understood a person to be a collection of physical needs—you’re hungry and there’s food to satisfy your hunger, you’re tired and there’s sleep. They concluded that sex is just like food, so when a man was “hungry,” he would go to a prostitute, saying, “Food for the stomach . . .”
There’s a passage in the book of First Corinthians where one of the writers of the Bible addresses this worldview. He confronts his audience with a challenge: Can they live for a higher purpose than just fulfilling their urges? He then claims that their bodies are “temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God.”3 (#litres_trial_promo)
