Our enduring perseverance (#853)

This trait of perseverance is one I can attribute to our survival instinct. It has underlying connections to both compassion and curiosity to lesser extents but it's most primal nature is that instinct us animals all share, survival. I have seen it in most every human interaction as well as in the animal kingdom at large. To go even further, the Mollusk and the exoskeleton species project it as well since they, like us invertebrates, have survived since known time. There truly is a magnificence to being and fighting to remain alive. In that I find the preciousness that we all share. How simple to see that all of life is equal in the sharing of existence. With that simple understanding comes a peace that can be profound as well as justifying. We are all struggling to exist, and by all I also include the non-human species. There is a formula that has yet to be discovered that can and could be the key to why all of life is here on this planet at the same time. It is generally accepted that chaos is the reason for it but logic won't allow me to accept chaos as an answer. Therefore, for me, further understanding is required. Regardless of what the truth is of why all species on this planet have a will to survive, the mere fact of our shared instinct suggests to me a link we all have in common. We are all of the same family at large when we find our similarities. This is an evolved thought and does require us to see our planet as a whole and not as a territory that we occupy and defend. The advantage the human species has at this moment in time is that we still appreciate our reasoning and analyzing abilities. To maintain these reasoning and analyzing abilities we must treat our current leadership position in the species paradigm with reverence and innovative thought. It is what helps us to persevere into the future with the greatest chance of living in existence to our highest potential.
