"To hang on from day to day and from week to week, spinning out a present that had no future, seemed an unconquerable instinct, just as one's lungs will always draw the next breath so long as there is air available."
I think Orwell was talking about more than the people in 1984 when he said this. These days, it seems a lot of people live that way, "spinning out a present that [has] no future." People just live their life the same way every day, slowly getting older, slowly dying. Orwell probably noticed that, and decided to put in into this book.
