Beauty is vulnerable? Is natural?

Civilization a result of building on progressive dissatisfactions?

God is the father because he represents what is dominant and the source of security and development?

Has achievement made man a prosthetic god?

Sublimination- the supression of instincts. Is this the crux, or origin, of civilization? Does conflict move man to achieve? to overcome? Are these subliminations the source of civilization, our achievements?
