人类生来都被赋予了本能和生理需求，只是程度各有不同，这些本能和需求驱使人们去做某些行为。例如，在本能中，神圣本能促使人们崇敬和崇拜；生存本能促使人们谋求增加财富、保障生命；繁衍本能驱使人们与他人建立两性关系。同样，在生理需求中，有吃、喝、呼吸等需要。

Human beings are all endowed, albeit to different extents, with instincts and organic needs, which drive them to perform certain actions. For example, of the instincts, the sanctification instinct causes people to revere and worship, the survival instinct causes them to seek to increase their wealth and secure their lives, and the procreational instinct urges them to have sexual relationships with others. Similarly, among the organic needs, are the need to eat, drink, breathe etc.

所有的本能和生理需求都必须得到满足。如果本能得不到满足，就会导致痛苦；如果生理需求得不到满足，就会导致死亡。然而，如果人类任由自己而行，他们便会运用自己的头脑来指导行为，从而可以完全按照自己的意愿来满足本能和生理需求。但是，人的头脑能力有限，容易犯错，并且容易受到自私和偏见的影响。在没有指引的情况下，本能和生理需求的满足方式可能会对他人造成伤害。例如，生存本能可能驱使个人欺骗和偷窃他人以获取更多财富。繁衍本能可能使人们犯下通奸或私通之罪。这些只是几个例子，而可能出现的问题几乎是无穷无尽的。

All of the instincts and organic needs must be fulfilled. If the instincts are not satisfied it will lead to misery. If the organic needs are not fulfilled, it will lead to death. However, if human beings are left to their own devices, they use their own minds to direct their actions and can thus fulfil their instincts and organic needs exactly as they please. But their minds are limited in ability, prone to error and subject to selfishness and prejudice. Without guidance, the satisfaction of the instincts and organic needs may be carried out in a way that is harmful to others. For instance, the survival instinct may drive individuals to cheat and steal from others in order to gain more wealth. The procreation instinct may lead people into committing adultery or fornication. These are just a couple of examples, but the scope for problems is almost limitless.
