People are hardy, even the seemingly vapid, selfish types adapt when the chips are down. We see a fraction of the surface of an individual, esp in news stories where we have limited information. True, if any of us were transplanted into the middle of the jungle with nothing we would probably die, but that would go for almost anybody at any point in history.

Life perseveres, and endures. except when someone is determined to end it.
