WHAT IS LIVING? WHAT DOES IT MEAN, TO LIVE?
For a long time I wonder what Living is, what is the difference between living and existing?When immersed into the everyday life situation, we don't really have that kind of questions in mind - We are not constantly wondering if we are living or just existing. We only ask ourselves from time to time, and we usually look at the past to answer the question.
So I think we can conclude that the answer to this question depends on the way, and the moments, we ask ourselves if we do or not, live - because living is an impression: how to give yourself the impression to live?
Then I think I found a longer, but easier way to ask the same question:
If you look at your past, what moments made you feel like you were truly living?
I believe anybody can find common points in all of these moments, and I am sure that you will conclude at least one thing: in most of them you were not alone.
So the union, the connection with people makes us feel alive, or helps to give the impression of living - definitely, humans are not meant to be lonely.
Now, when can you say « I am living right now » - what is LIVING?
Everyone probably has their own answer, and mine would be this:
« Living is to BUILD good remembers for the future »
In that case, it would mean that we need to constantly be a « creator of remembers »What do we remember in our lives?
Probably only the unusual things (principle of dynamic)
So living could simply be the act of breaking the routines in a positive manner.
