It is not always such a good form anyway.

[The man shuts his mouth with a click, breaking off the rest of the words he was saying, and looks at the girl silently a moment.]

What would be a better form?

[darkmagik]

Whatever lets you survive.

[personaldemon]

Survival is not always the chief good.

[darkmagik]

Sometimes it is all we have.

[personaldemon]

I sometimes consider we'd be drastically better off as a species were that survival instinct not so very strong.

Or that the world might be better off for it, anyway.

[darkmagik]

Probably. But we have it regardless.
