    They are optimists, oblivious, fighters, or have found peace.

    In general: Trying to live and survive is a basic function of life.

    Personally: Why wouldn’t I? Got more than enough time to be dead later. Besides there are many things worth living for.

    Ensuring one’s own continued existence is an instrumentally convergent goal for a wide array of goals.

    Love for me. Nothing better in life than having mutual love be it romantic or friendship.

    Also stories of all kinds are pretty great.

      love seems like an underpayment for pain, suffering, work,chores, etc.

    Can’t help a whole lot of people as a dead person.
