will to live

Will to live refers to a person’s inner motivation and desire to continue their existence, even amid challenges or suffering. It involves a complex interplay of physical health, mental resilience, emotional well-being, and hope. When someone has a strong will to live, they often find purpose, connection, or meaning that sustains them through difficult times. Conversely, a diminished will to live can be influenced by factors like illness, depression, or despair, leading to a decreased desire to persist. Recognizing and nurturing this will can play a critical role in recovery and overall well-being.
