If civilization imposes such great sacrifices not only on sexuality but also on man’s tendency to aggression, we can now understand better that it is difficult for man to find himself happy in it. In fact, primitive man had an easier time in this regard, as he did not experience any restrictions on his instincts. As a counterbalance, he had very little certainty that he would enjoy such happiness for long. Civilized man has traded in a piece of happiness for a piece of security.
