Living or Existing?

Tweet

What is our openion about ourselves? Whether we are living or whether we are exisisting. Many times when we are so much depressed or worried we may hear our beloved persons saying- " Do not worry, I am not dead. I exist, I am still alive" What is the meaning of this? The existence of someone beloved to us is to sustain so that we may not perish. What about our existence or living? We may exist lifelessly. We may take life as a burdun. Today majority of the perons want to live and they are so much scared of death. Inspite of old age, in spite of all hardship or health disaster they like to live and exist. That means they find some meaning or taste in living or existing. Some may live as fully human, making use or mental and physical facculties for the wefare and development of the self and of those who surround him. Some people are by nature altruistic. Some people are born to be immortal leaving behind a legacy that no one can destroy even after ages. Our plannet is full of great men and saints who have left behing us a great legacy for which we are very comforatble today and draw nourishment from their legacy. So even though they are dead today they continue to live much more livelier than we. Many of us may exist and disappear and after decades no one may remember us. Even then in our small oasis, we can live with fullness if we want to. Motivation can work miracles.
