Does everyone have the same strength will to live? I'd say- probably not. Plus, you can lose the will to live I believe.
What do you think? Obviously, we're hard wired to survive- survival instinct and all that. But- that desire to keep trying in life- that seems to vary from person to person. What do you suppose influences it? Are we all born with it? Is it instinctual? Or, is it more about genetics do you suppose? Or, do we learn it? Or, is it more rational than that? As in- 'I'll keep living so long as the good outweighs the bad?'
I guess for someone who still has things in life they want to hold on to, there will naturally be a tendency to try and keep going in order to keep those things.
I imagine many of us have lost it to a greater degree! When you realise you don't want to do these things anymore. You don't want to live- so, why would you want to try doing things that promote living? Then, it becomes more of a- 'Why should I?' Then, it's really all about other people- they'll tell you outright that you don't have a choice. But really they mean- if you don't make the choice to live and thrive, things will get a whole lot worse for you- if you become destitute. Living isn't enough in this world. You need to support yourself too. Or- things will become worse for them if they can't bear to see you homeless and try to support you or, the option they may not have even considered- you take yourself out the game and they are left to mourn.
What do you think? Have you ever had a strong will to live? Do you still have it? Where do you think you got it from? What took it away?
