What do you believe you are adding? Is it how this solitary person feels?

There is much more to a person's life than mere survival - even if that person is the only one who exists. And while morality is required to facilitate survival, it is not limited to it.

Survival is not a conceptual standard. The simple fact that you are alive and want to survive tells you nothing about how to do it. Your survival instinct can only guide your actions so far - within specific range of the moment. Anything beyond that is informed by your morality, which not only effects your continued survival but the quality of survival as well.
