What if I told you that you survived the moment you were born?
Furthermore, what if I say you already survived when you were conceived?

Congrats. You were born and you survived. Now what?

Superior predators

Until not long ago, just like all other species, our only purpose was to survive. Homo sapiens have always used their intelligence to adapt, learn and implement.
We discovered the power of fire and used it for many purposes. We improved our hunting by making weapons. We immigrated to other places to stay safe.
A Revolution after revolution, an invention after invention, we became superior to other predators.
So, how do we excel in surviving? We use our advantage — our large brains and unique intelligence. We also understand the power of a tribe. We work together to shape our ideas into a reality — all to survive.
Most of our revolutions and inventions were merely survival tools.

Modern time = secured survival

Indeed, we’ve come a long way. In modern time, we’ve become so superior that many have secured their survival before they were even born.
What is survival, anyway?

“the state or fact of continuing to live or exist”
