Yes I agree. We are rational beings capable of meditation, concentration, goal-setting, and abstract thought outside the boundaries of our instincts. We do not have to make choices based on instinctual senses and when we do things tend not to go well for us.
But can understand that some people can give into those instincts and become closer to an animal, or more so less human by disregarding what makes us human. And some who act horrifically, become monsters - subhuman.

Yes. We're not always submitting to our higher calling. Being civilized requires submission to civilized behavior.
