From changes joy comes, yet we want it to be constant. Can it last therefore? Love of life is such, for the smallest creature unto mankind, However unhappy, ill or old he may be, his only wish is for life to last . There is a story in the East of a mother who said that if she could see her son grown-up she would he happy. Then she wished to see him married, then she wished to see his children. After that she wished to see his children married. She then said she would he happy if she could see his grandchildren. The point is, we may have different hopes and ambitions and wish to achieve this or accomplish that, but the real idea behind it all is to continue to live. The natural inclination of the mind is to find some reason to justify it, but the inclination is to live and it therefore seeks some cause or object to fulfill. The real underlying object is to live. It is not only in man, but in birds, animals and insects. They all wish to escape death and to protect their life from dangers.
