Love this answer. Sometimes I feel like "merely" surviving is looked down upon, but the art of survival is the only lasting thing we can hand down the generations. The environment changes so rapidly (especially in the Anthropocene) that usually the best we can do is figure out how to survive right now. Anything else is superfluous if we can't do that.

And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.”
