Survival or life?

What is more important, survival or living?

 What is more important, achieving joy or avoiding pain?

 These are only easy questions in the abstract.

I'd say it all depends on your tolerance for risk ... both downside risk and upside risk. A lot of folks just aren't up to living life at the level of, say, Queen Victoria or Winston Churchill.

The question is easy in reality for someone who is supporting a family, has no money, no roof over their head, lives in a sometimes violent neighborhood, and doesn't know where their next meal is coming from.
