It's what separates a man who wants to live, from a man who wants to take his life, or wishes his life were over.
Take love for instance. If your parents have long since abandoned you, care little about you. If you lack friends, or people who love you, even if you had all the material and financial means to survive a long time, the idea of dying would probably be very welcome. Very little if anything, would keep you from wanting to continue living, other than the fear of doing it yourself.
No. Most people don't want to live. They simply instinctively don't want to die, and don't want to leave no progeny when death nonetheless inevitably comes.
This seems to be a projection on your part. I don't know if I want to poke this subject any further, because I am not your friend.
I would hate to think that all that keeps your feet planted on the platform, is just a fear of death, and not a desire to live.
