No one likes to die even if he shows the intention of committing suicide or the desire to leave life under the influence of harsh circumstances...
The instinct to love survival in humans is stronger even than it is in animals. It was said about this thing that a group of people escaped from death and died in crowds because of their flight to life. They died while trying to survive...
And in crime and punishment!
Dostoyevsky gave an example of a person who is afraid of death, and he said that if he were allowed to live his whole life on a high peak where only a foot of space would fit for him. He would have preferred this life a hundred times over death.
He said about the person sentenced to death that when he is taken to the retribution square on a cart, he hopes that the distance between him and the retaliation square will be longer, even by one inch, so that when he approaches the place of execution, he begins to reassure himself that there is still a distance of one or two streets. From the place of his death. He remains convinced, until the last minute, that a stroke of fate will finally free him from the gallows.
Although this person's life is in reality full of all kinds of torment and misery, he prefers this torment and misery rather than becoming a dead corpse.
Is man truly an “enemy of what he does not know”?
Or are there other reasons to love life? .
