    Like every living thing its prime characteristic is a blind, unreasoned instinct to survive.

    Every living thing on this rock is hardwired with two commands when it is born.

    Survive – Reproduce.

    With humans this has become a problem.

    Even in B&W…the instinct still is to survive! Who would have thought this could be so beautiful, Cherie.

    Over one million humans commit suicide each year. So is that reason triumphing over the “unreasoned instinct to survive”? I wonder. It certainly challenges the logic of the quote.

    B & W makes them appear as frozen in time and also frozen as frost. It is a beautiful photo.
    instinct to survive a good topic for philosophy or discussion
