The Opposite of Survival is Contribution

As a global species,

we’ve never been so good

at not dying.

I’m not saying we’ve solved

every horrific thing,

but we have temporarily

solved not dying.

If you’re reading this post,

you have definitely,

at least for the moment,

solved the not dying problem.

The classy problem we face now

is that we’re still hard-wired

and soft-wired to be obsessed

with survival.

That obsession no longer

serves us when we’ve already

mastered survival.

What is life’s purpose

if it isn’t survival?

Contribution.

The opposite of survival

is contribution.

What could you contribute

with your moment?
