It's not about survival

What is it about humans?

Why do we not just survive? Why do we strive for even more?

I mean, we are technically animals, shouldn't we just try to focus on not dying?

Maybe it's because we're selfish.

Humans have this funny thing where we ignore what we need and go straight for what we want. We're too stubborn to address the essentials sometimes.

Maybe we're just stupid. 

I mean, have you seen that list called the Darwin Awards? They literally give out awards to people that have died, because they died in a magnificently stupid way. Wouldn't that make you feel special.

But seriously, what's up with us? Why are we so different when it comes to survival and life?

Well allow me to attempt to answer that.

I think it's because humans always strive for more than what we are. 

We don't just want to exist, we want to LIVE.

We want to experience having a best friend even though it may mean loosing one.

We want to experience school even though it may mean failure.

We want to experience love even though it may mean heartbreak in the end.

We want to experience fear

and laughter

and despair

and rebellion

and happiness

and hate

and pure joy.

HUMANS are willing to sacrifice survival for the chance to LIVE

and be MORE than just "human"
