All try to have a better life, try to survive, but how many try to live the life? Is this life a gift for us to teach us that life must to be lived to maximum? Or is just our duty to survive? We all try to care about family, health, work all life to have a house, a car, food, clothes, care about kids. This is all?all this mean to survive. What mean to live the life? What we can do not only just to survive ? we must to live the life...but how in this hard times?

Its me who try to live the life to its fullest. i like to live only 60 years. see like this i am 23 i have 37 more to go. i have the limited time i have to do all the work in that only, earning money.getting a good job. a good wife :-) making my own family. creating 4-5 healthy children :-) and teaching them well and getting them married. and then i die at 60. so where is my time to enjoy then. when shall i tease my friends. when do i pull their hairs :-). there is barely any time to do these activities which gives me happiness and enjoyment. so i found my life getting worth less. what do i receive at the end. nothing. So i have made up my mind. i will live each and every second of my life. the way i want it to be. i will enjoy with my friends,tease them and i am doing it even at this very moment :-) so that even if i die 1 years from now. i am not going to regret that i did nothing in my life. Did you get me? LOL you are losing something and allowing me to see a movie!! check your mail ha ha ha. :-)

Well Icesmile, all of us try to live life but we have made life so complicated that we work like a donkey all our life and we still have regrets in the end. Life was very simple before but we have made it so complicated that living life to the fullest is a big challenge now. We are not just limited to our basic needs but we want highly luxurious life that's why it has become so hard to enjoy life. I was a very happy-go-lucky kind of a girl before but as time is passing i realized or people around me made me realize that we can't just have fun and live by ourselves, we have to earn, we have to get married and we have to spend that boring and routine life like all others. So now nothing seems like fun to me. I am just living my life, kinda passing my time here on Earth. Waiting for it to get over someday...

Even though we are in a recession I feel I still have to improve my life. I want to continue being happy and not get miserable. In life the best things to have are good health, good luck and happiness. Right now I have got all three and so that is great. Money doesn't make people happy is something that I believe but a severe lack of it could make a person worried. I made sure I got my vacation this year in January because I knew if I waited any longer it might not happen. It is possible to go on economical day trips in my local area and improve my home with clutter clearing. I am having another go at learning to drive and really hope I will be successful. If so it will make a big difference to my life for the best.

It is easy to live.But it is not easy to live the life.If we only to live,life is meaningless.So we must try our best to make our life better.We all struggle to survive no matter how hard the situation is.Besides we work for life and make life easier and we live for work in order to live a better life.Thanks.

i used to just get by when my kids were growing up. it was just me working and the factory job i had didn't pay much. we made it and i think we are better from it my kids learned to take care of the things they had and still do.We had love and that is more important than money

In my opinion, in those old days where human beings are still in civilization and the technology are not so advanced as now, people are just to survive and live their days. They're enough with having food and the basic utilities. However, if we're saying about human beings nowadays, i believe everyone is trying their best to achieve the life they want. We want to live life to the fullest, enjoy life and live happily. So, we start getting to work, earn money, improve our living, find life partner, have children, and so on. In the meanwhile of this, we try to enjoy life and actually one of the way is we should be grateful with what we have now so that we'll be more satisfied and live happily.

It's all about living as well as we can, Ice. Simple survival isn't enough. If it becomes necessary, it MUST be temporary and short-lived!

For me, the will to live is the same as to survive. We are going through hard times now. Things have change, prices still up while job not paying much. We also have lots of things to buy. People being fired from their job here and there. But we still breathing and well. Why? Because God want we to live on. It's not our time to die so we must live to the fullest.

We are just about surviving with such low money coming in and more and more money having to pay out.We as in my husband and our children are finding it so hard to pay bills that we can no longer afford to pay for sweets for our children.This is very upsetting all round and makes you think how other people can afford a nice holiday or new cars,etc
