...fascinating thread...

I was on a cliff top last weekend and had the strongest urge I've ever had in a similar situation to run and leap off. I really had to stop myself and get away from it before I plunged to a certain death on the rocks below. I love the theory about this being linked to a deep instinct to fly, and the theory that this feeling may also explain why I love flying.

Anyway - flying shrink (or any other similarly qualified person) - what is the reason for this overwhelming self destructive urge, are there any theories???

Would love to know.
