“A living creature develops a destructive impulse when it wants to destroy a source of danger... The original motive is not pleasure in destruction... I destroy in a dangerous situation because I want to live and do not want to have any anxiety. In short, the impulse to destroy serves a primary biological will to live.” WantPleasureSituationDangerousDangerSourceCreaturesAnxietyDestructionOriginalsPrimariesImpulseMotiveDestructiveLiving CreaturesWill To LiveDangerous Situations Author:Wilhelm Reich
