Living or surviving?

we sure dont have a lot of extra money to do things but we still have fun with life. we go to the park with the kids or the beach and take a picnic. there are lots of things you can do that dont cost money but are still fun!

I guess its surviving. Life is so tough so in order to live our lives we need to strive and work hard to survive here in this world.

in the past it was..living large..a large country few people,.large houses.,cheap labour..alot of food..now so many people, demand on housing, food shelter clothing.,and fast life that has made everything to be about survival for the fittest.

Well I really don't think that you have to have money to live. Life is what you make of it and I have met a lot more people that have plenty of money and are misereable and I do not have five extra dollars to save at the end of the month and I am very happy. I think that is a lot of the problem with people today is they see all this stuff and they want it because it will up their status and they work and work and work to obtain it only to see something else they want and work the same way to obtain it. They spend their entire lives working for material things they miss out on life all together. I do not have a lot of material things. I have a home, clothes (not name brands), food, furniture (used), and a car. I do not live life with a high expectation on being rich honestly I would rather not be and if I ever won the lottery I would give most of it away. You got to slow down in life to really enjoy it to really live. Take time and go for a walk not through the city out in the country, lay down and just look at the sky, watch your kids play and join them, go swimming, and go to the park. Enjoy life and what it has to offer all the big things you can buy with a lot of money are not going to make life any more enjoyable.

I prefer living, from my point of you living is a state that you are still enjoying your life.

I think there is more to life than mere surviving. It would be nice if the problem of surviving were not so difficult. Some people have it easy and others have a hard life. I myself find it easy to live even though my life is painful and difficult. Cheers!!

We're living. Surviving is like doing all means to stay alive. One wrong move, you're dead. There's no fun there. Everything is about the instinct to survive. For us, it's living. We have fun, we enjoy life. Making money is not only to pay bills and buy food, it's for entertainment and more. Some might live in small apartments but they still have a life right? That's why it's living, not surviving.

That is a wonderful question Faisai. Many a times these kinds of questions do crop up in my mind too. It is not our request or fault to be born in this world and undergo all these unwanted miseries and joys. We are forced to feel at times that the life we are leading has not got any meaning at all. We feel that we eat, mate and die like animals.
But at certain stages of our life we all find out that there is a meaning to our lives. When you meet a partner who proves to give his or her life for you feel how special you are .When your first child is born you feel like the God the creator himself. When the child becomes world famous like another Einstein or Mahatma Gandhi you fulfill the purpose of your being born in this world.
And when you push a person out of the way of a speeding car you understand your meaning of your life. The life is beautiful my friend. All you have to do is to feel it. And thanks a lot for your excellent discussion and the opportunity you have given to pour out my heart.

Hey,

Well I actually think that surviving is more like begging or hunting for food, living outside with no shelter or anything like that. I think that we are really living, but I don't think we are actually living our life that well. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Surviving like animals at least most, not sure where your from but herre in mexico most all just survive, im sick of it and ready to head to the hills.
