Why the instinct to survive?

[LostDays]

Why all the effort if all you are going to do is eat, sleep and shit anyways?

Why? No reason. It's all pretty pointless.

But it's a process. We only do these things because it's in our genetics to care. Otherwise we'd have died out long ago.

So I suspect the answer lies in evolution.

Note how that while most of us realize that it's all pointless, we go on living our lives anyway.

But why... and why do human beings seem to be the only living organism that contemplates suicide?

Good for you, I am really glad you are able to walk through life and never question why... I would seriously love to not have to constantly ask that question... must be nice.

There are a lot of individuals out there who struggle with this very question. Look outside yourself for a moment?
