CORAZON DEL SOL, 12.11.20:
“To be alive is to strive for existence. That’s why he (Spinoza) calls also the Conatus, The power of existing and he has this very beautiful definition...Each thing, including the humans but also animals and every living being, each thing as far as it can by it’s own power strives to persevere in it being. Another quote..The striving by which each thing strives to persevere in its being is nothing but the actual essence of the thing” so being, being alive is being a force which wants to affirm itself, persevere in its being”
