Will to Life

Notes​

Claim​

The will to live is our biological desire to continue our own existence as individuals and as species.

Explanation​

It is a basic, strong desire that controls all of our actions, and sometimes contradicts logic. It is this never ending hunger that we can't control that brings all the pain and unhappiness in our lives.

Why it matters​

Reducing Attachment distorts how we see the things we cling to and Expectations shape wellbeing through the gap between desires and reality are the only minor cure against this pain.
