It's the reason why we clutch at our possessions the minute we think someone is going to take them away (I have that reaction when anyone comes near me when I'm eating chocolate), and perhaps why despite all our endeavours to be wonderfully selfless human beings, we will kick someone else to the curb if it means our survival depends on it.
It's just the way nature works.
It's the reason I'm taking a deep breath, and letting go of a lot of things, people, memories, and mementos.
I have to.
In the long-run, it's either me, or them.
And really, I'd much rather choose me.
So, in apology, I'll steal a really corny line and say, "It's a self-preservation thing, you see..."
