A young mother of two young children survives for five days trapped inside of her truck after it skids off the road and plunges into a ravine. With injuries to her skull, leg, and arm, and suffering from hypothermia and dehydration, she says she clung to life for her two children.
So... here are my questions and a possible theory:
- Does the survival instinct become stronger when the focus is on someone else's life rather than our own?
- Are we wired to instinctively put more importance on saving/protecting another life outside of ourselves?
- By focusing on another life, does it in turn make our own lives thrive?
Think about it... I would love to hear your thoughts.
These theories could be true but how do u explain the high rate of suicides too?
ReplyDeleteI think suicides support my point all the more. The reason people lose their will to live is because their focus in on themselves and how miserable/hopeless their own lives are.
ReplyDeleteI have to believe that one would think twice before taking their own life if they were responsible for someone else's well being.
