    It’s not my thing, but I can respect the patience and skill it takes to make preserves. Home made jam is often better than store bought, so I expect the same applies to self preserved fruits etc.

      uhhhh it’s a spectrum,

      At its healthiest, self-preservation can mean:

      setting boundaries, avoiding unnecessary risk, saving money, protecting mental health, leaving harmful situations, thinking long-term, resisting pressure to self-sacrifice for approval.

      But self-preservation can also become limiting if it turns into:

      chronic fear, emotional isolation, refusal to trust anyone, avoiding all vulnerability, stepping on others to stay secure, never taking meaningful risks.

        Isn’t that just evolutionary developed instinct? I can’t imagine there would be anybody who’s not pro-self preservation on those terms.

        They didn’t and don’t. I see what you’re doing. And it’s wrong. Palestinians deserve to live in peace, freedom and prosperity, in their homeland. So do Lebanese, Libyans, and MENA, and you know, the rest of what Israel thinks is “greater Israel.”
