Is there a difference between living and existing?

Asked by Heather (Weinman) Prabish

Heather,
Good question! Existence may mean that we are here, but not really enjoying life and seeing the different hues of life. Mere existence do not make a difference, where as Living means that we are present and involved in every second.

We enrich ourselves with every aspect of life, every emotions and relationships. I can recall the phrase, "live and enjoy the moment" - the word live cannot be replaced by exist which essentially means that there is no life in it. What exists is the left over of life, the thoughts, the ideas, et al.

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sujatha
