Is There Really A Difference Between Living And Existing?

Oh yes, there is a difference between living and existing.

Simply put, existing is waking up everyday to a life of routine. To begin their day, people who are merely existing are awakened by an alarm clock at the same time every morning, and so starts another day of doing the same things. To them, routine makes life efficient, practical safe and predictable.
But routine is not living. Real living comes from the opposite; creativity and change. These are the mother and father of living. They (people who are existing) don't know that, so they suffer from a growing sense of anxiety welling up from within for unknown reasons.

Yes HR, you understand the concept. But not everybody do. And until they do, they have not started living but existing.

Hey iice and hotness, i wholly agree with you. There is sure a difference. But so many people do not realize this. They are stuck in the 'mainstream' society, in a 'rat race'. It's a pity
