While the instinct for survival is in all animals.Some humans choose not to survive. The survival instinct can be overcome.  I have a co-worker who has a little saying which goes. "Survival is overrated" . We often use this to lighten up when things appear grim, or we are taking things too seriously. Interesting question. :thumbup:

For survival we are obligated to kill, even if it's a vegetable. Killing can be minimized among humans by fostering love and co-operation. That's how warfare is minimized in tribes and families. It's a choice that each human makes everyday.
