What's even more "mind-blowing" is that, both past and present, human beings in far more "extreme" conditions of poverty, illness, abuse and oppression than yours also had/have the will to go on. Don't you think it's our basic survival instinct?

re: keeps going

The heap of matter that we are will keep going and going even as it ages until it is no more. The only constant is change. By willed choice, we make our spiritual changes better than its previous states.
