Just a question I thought I’d ask. It’s something I’ve been dwelling on for the past couple of days, so I figured I could get some opinions from the pandas! Remember, there are no right or wrong answers!
#1
the general answer is one is proactive (living) and one is passive (existing). To live one must exist. However, it is possible for a thing to exist without living. Rocks exist but do not live (as we understand living). A person can be said to exist but not live when their lives have been arrested of movement (progress) from fear, from laziness, illness or life circumstances.
#2
(Hope this doesn’t double post) to me, you existing is the same as living. You are born to be the witness to your own unfolding life, your own story. I believe that’s the purpose of everyone’s life, to simply be exactly who they are. And love.
#3
A living thing needs to have the 5 senses. An existing thing is anything made out of atoms.
#4
Living is when you react to something, eat/drink, basically everything we do today. Existing is just being there. Whether you’re dead or not no matter what you exist.
#5
Existing is just taking up space. Living however, means you are moving, thinking, making mistakes, laughing, crying, feeling, falling in love, and making something of your existence.
