  1. A lot of people take their survival for granted; it's a side-effect of participation in modern society, not requiring individual directed effort to the specific end, "survival". The challenges to survival have been abstracted by civilization into unrelated forms. Used to be, if you were hungry you foraged or hunted for food. Now, if you want to eat, you get a job, so you have money with which to PAY for food, and most of everything else...housing, transportation, clothing...The resulting sense of detachment from reality gradually deforms psyches...Over time, the deformations become critical enough to precipitate problematic psychological derangement. Sounds familiar...
