Survival is a primal instinct from "summary" of Mind Fuck by Manna Francis
Survival is not just a word or a concept; it is a fundamental drive that resides deep within each and every one of us. It is not something that we can easily dismiss or ignore, for it is a primal instinct that has been hardwired into our very beings through millions of years of evolution. When faced with danger or a threat to our existence, our bodies and minds automatically kick into survival mode, doing whatever is necessary to ensure our continued existence. This instinctual drive for survival can be seen in the most basic of life forms, from single-celled organisms to complex mammals like ourselves. It is what drives a plant to seek out sunlight and water, what pushes a predator to hunt its prey, and what compels a human to fight or flee in the face of danger. It is a force that is so powerful, so ingrained in our DNA, that it can override even the most logical of thoughts or the strongest of emotions. In times of crisis, our survival instinct becomes our guiding force, leading us to make decisions and take actions that we may not have thought possible. It is what allows a person to lift a car off of a trapped loved one, or to push through unbearable pain to reach safety. It is what drives soldiers to charge into battle, firefighters to run into burning buildings, and parents to sacrifice everything for their children. But survival is not just about physical survival; it is also about emotional and mental survival. When faced with trauma or adversity, our survival instinct can help us cope with the unthinkable, pushing us to find strength and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. It is what allows us to heal from heartbreak, to overcome addiction, to persevere in the face of despair. In the end, survival is more than just a primal instinct; it is a testament to the power and tenacity of the human spirit. It is what drives us to keep going, to keep fighting, no matter how bleak the circumstances may seem. It is a force that unites us all, reminding us that, in the end, our most basic drive is simply to survive.
