Survival

The contemplation of our mortality and survival is always a contentious topic. We have been imbued with fear to preserve ourselves so that we might reproduce. However, we walk around acting as if we will live forever. While we fear for our lives, we also operate in ways that show that we do not value them. It makes sense that we could temper both actions. We can choose to try to create a mental model that is more grounded in reality. We can also act in a manner that places more importance on our time. This approach will create a more fulfilled life with less fear in the end.
