Real survival is not a sport.
It is not a computer game or a reality TV show. Survival is not a concept that intellectuals discuss over latte. Nor is it a topic for science fiction novels. Survival is that live-or-die feeling that emanates from our deepest desire to continue our lives. It is the deepest instinct of humankind and the entire animal kingdom.
We joke about the apocalypse and zombies and the end of the world, and yet, due to our ability to adapt and to condition ourselves, we live all the time with factors that threaten our very survival. But we address those factors, and we modify and change, and hopefully, we survive.
Human society stands as a testament to human ingenuity, adaptability and the desire to survive. Our growth and our ability to harness and utilize nature all arose from our desire to survive. Now, the main threat to our survival as a species seems to be—of all things—ourselves!
