Pain and fear are parts of this mechanism. Pain causes discomfort so that the organism is inclined to stop the pain. Fear causes the organism to seek safety and may cause a release of adrenaline.
Latin Conatus: Everything, in so far as it is in itself {no external or parasitic object causing deterioration}, endeavours to persist in its own being. {Ethics:3P6} Yesselman 15:52, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
