Self Control - The Emperor Penguin

Penguins spend months guarding their young in the Antarctic.  They make a long journey to the ocean and upon reaching it are extremely weak and hungry.  The problem is that killer whales lurk below.  They carefully walk to the edge and wait.  They look carefully at the water and wait until there are no threats beneath.  Even though very hungry, self control is vital for survival, not only of themselves, but their mate and baby far away.  Those without self-control plunge into the water.  Some make it, but some don't.  Is it worth the risk to lose self control for a personal desire?
