Mourning
Why is everything so keen on living?
We shelter in caves-houses-ponds
What is the other option?
Apparently it isn't a good one
All these other animals-insects-creatures
That do the same
We shelter against and hold on
We get lonely
When what matters is no longer
And then we find something else
We adapt

Meow???
I prefer adapting to dying. My question is why do all the people/creatures/loved ones insist on exiting our lives when we need them most?
Our ability to adapt is a blessing and, sometimes, a curse. We hang on to "out dated" relationships and ideas and behaviors long after they are appropriate - or useful. We are a tenacious bunch, for sure, N E LS O N. Yes we are.
I thinking along those lines today. I wrote:
survival is hard, it is pain and struggle's father and child.
survival is the reward and punishment
@jzrocker - Hey thanks for the rec...I am more interested in it being a 'reflex'...survival...it is a reward and punishment though...
@SandraErickson - S A N D R A that is an interesting take...
@murisopsis - Eh...coincidence I think...
Why do animals insist on adapting rather than dying? That is my question.
@IAmBishop - Woof?
