The man is saying that you can't help what happens sometimes. At schoolies, you act on instinct and as such, act 'Like an animal'. As human beings, we should have self control and control our desires and urges. Sometimes we act like animals, but not always.
Reflection: before acting like an animal, when your human side comes in, you should not only think about the physical, but also the emotions, feelings, thoughts, mentally and spiritually
Something that takes over you like lust can influence you and take over you. Lust promises something that it can't deliver in the end. You need self control. Some strong feelings can over power you, and you shouldnt let it do that
I think that what the author is saying is true, some strong feelings, whether they are lust, envy, anger, guilt or anything at all take over you and can influence you strongly.

Relationships/ sexuality
Explanations
-We've been less than human if we regard people like the way The man did. We need to be mindful of people. You shouldn't exploit people, because you would be exploiting yourself, even if you don't know it. It's your decision whether your good or bad, and what you bring into the world
- if it's just physical sex, there is no connection, and you feel nothing strong about it afterwards
- to have a complete relationship with god, you need to be able to believe and accept anything
- human beings are able to think about what they are doing sexually. Animals cannot think sexually, and therefore act on instinct
Reflections
- I think that once he realized what he was doing, and then helped the young women in the rural areas, he began to realize that he wanted to chance to be good
- If people Just have sex for sex, they are going to be lonely. And really, they are not getting anything out of sex except for the pleasure
- I dont think that you need to accept yourself before you can have a Proper relationship with God. You may not accept yourself, but pray to God to change you. You may be happy how you are now. But be happier if things in your life Changed.
- I think that humans can also act on instinct, sometimes resulting in good or bad.
