Will to live

The will live or Wille zum Leben is the psychological power to struggle for self-preservation seen as an important and active process of conscious and unconscious reasoning. The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer was the first to name for this power.

There is a significant correlation between the will to life and existential, psychological, social, and physical source of distress. The concept of a desire for life can be seen as a direct impact of hope. Many, who overcome near-death experiences without explanation, have described the desire to live as a direct component of their survival. The difference between the desire to die versus the desire to live is also a unique risk factor for suicide.

In psychology, the desire for life is a boost for self-preservation, usually coupled with hope for future improvement in one's life. The desire to live is an important concept when trying to understand and understand why we do what we do to survive, and for as long as we can. This can be attributed to a person's impulse to survive on the verge of death, or someone just trying to find meaning to get on with their lives. Some researchers say that people who have reason or purpose in life during such horrible and horrible experiences will often look better than those who may find such an experience extraordinary. Every day, people undergo many kinds of negative experiences, some of which may be demoralizing, painful, or tragic. The ongoing question continues to be what makes the desire to live in this situation. Some people who claim to have experienced an example of a desire to live, have many different explanations behind it.

The desire to live is regarded as a very basic impulse in humans; but not necessarily the main driving force. In psychotherapy, Sigmund Freud termed the principle of pleasure, seeking pleasure and avoiding pain. Viktor Frankl, after spending time in the German concentration camp, developed a psychotherapy called logotherapy, or "willingness to mean". Maslow's hierarchy of needs highlights the innate passions that people have for love and possession but before all this there is a very basic and powerful desire to live. Psychologists have determined that human beings are goal-oriented species. In assessing the will to live, it must be remembered that it can be increased or decreased by the relative strength of the other drives simultaneously. Psychologists generally agree that there is a willingness to live, a will for pleasure, a will for superiority and a will for connection. Usually there are also various levels of curiosity regarding what can be termed as a desire to identify or build meaningful personal responses. The desire to live is a platform without which it is impossible to satisfy other drives. However, this ignores the possibility that there are similarities among all beings that push all others urgently. And that is the need to reproduce and ensure species preservation.

Similarities with self-preservation

Self-preservation is a behavior that ensures the survival of an organism. Pain and fear are an integral part of this mechanism. Pain motivates the individual to withdraw from a destructive situation, to protect damaged parts of the body while healing, and to avoid a similar experience in the future. Most of the pain disappears as soon as painful stimuli are released and the body has healed, but sometimes the pain continues despite the lifting of the stimulus and the real healing of the body; and sometimes the pain arises in the absence of a stimulus, deterioration or a detectable disease. Fear causes organisms to seek safety and can lead to adrenaline release, which has a high effect of strength and senses such as hearing, smell, and vision. Self-preservation can also be interpreted figuratively, in terms of coping mechanisms necessary to prevent emotional trauma from mind distortion (see defense mechanisms.)

Even the simplest living organisms (for example, single-celled bacteria) are usually under strong selective pressure to develop responses that will help avoid a destructive environment, if such an environment exists. Organisms also evolved as they adapted - even developed - in a benign environment (for example, marine sponges modify their structures in response to current changes, to better absorb and process nutrients). Self-preservation is therefore an almost universal feature of life. However, when introduced to new threats, many species will have either too specialized, or not specific, self-preservation responses to address a particular threat. An example is the dodo, which evolved in the absence of natural predators and therefore has no precise and proper self-preservation response to severe predators by humans and mice, showing no fear to them.

Correlation

"Existential, psychological, social, and, to a lesser degree, physical variables are highly correlated with the desire to live". Existential issues found are significantly correlated including despair, desire to die, dignity, and burden to others. Psychiatric problems are found to be highly associated such as depression, anxiety, and lack of concentration. The physical problems that show the strongest association are the appetite and appearance that do not show the same consistent level of correlation. The four major predictor variables of the will to live change over time are anxiety, shortness of breath, depression, and a sense of well being that correlates with other variable predictors as well. Social variables and quality of life measures have proven to be significantly correlated with a desire to live such as support and satisfaction with support from family, friends, and health care providers. Findings on the will to life have suggested that psychological variables are replaced by physical mediators of variation as death draws closer. The desire to live also proved very unstable.

Research

Much research has been done on the theory of the will to live. Among these studies depends on gender differences and parents as well as in severely ill people. One study focused on a simple question asked about assessing one's desire to live and presenting findings that elderly participants reported strong will to life and establishment or independence to live longer than those who have a weak desire to live. The study found that women were able to cope with life-threatening situations, but suggested that participants could not be stable and require future replication. The second study presented the idea of ​​a will to live in a seriously ill cancer patient termed an older one. In this study, researchers can suggest that patients who have been tested have a low life desire to die soonest rather than have a moderate level of will to live, live the longest while high desire for life can affect individuals in direction. This research requires future replication that can show the effect of a desire to live in a deadly disease of various diseases and age categories. Other reports about the will to live exist in many extreme medical cases, where patients have overcome tremendous opportunities for survival. The Holocaust has provided many examples of this phenomenon, and is a good example of this as well. The proposed mechanism for the desire to live is the idea that positive mental thinking tends to lower a person's risk for illness and health complications. One study showed that positive thinking women were more likely to carry more antibodies to certain types of flu, thus having a stronger immune system than those who were told to think negatively. A powerful example of a man who has a desire for life can be seen in death records throughout history shows that people are more likely to die right after the big holidays, such as Christmas and Thanksgiving, and even birthdays, not really in or before them, but passing shortly after.
