 As for existing, our existence forces us to show more of what we are, strives to have better results than it has always had, looks for what is superficial, wants to give meaning to everything it finds, just like a scientist. Existence believes that because you have more years you are more expert.



On the other hand, living seeks to enjoy every moment, to take advantage of the fact that you are alive at this precise moment to learn something new. He does not try to explain what he sees, he prefers to live happily in this world no matter what will happen. It is the experience that will make you be grateful just for being breathing right now. One afternoon watching the sun go down can mean a most beautiful afternoon.



Existence and experience are opposite. You can be walking normally, you can have excellent health, you can have a lot of money saved, you can have a great profession, many degrees accumulated over many years, a great job, a perfect family but you just exist and that's it.



Exist, it's about getting up every day at six in the morning (or before), then having breakfast and then going like a zombie to your work and being bored for eight hours or more while you dream that you are in a better place, then you go out , you take the same route to your house, you sleep at the same time to get up the next morning to do exactly the same ... that is to exist.



Now be a better person and, above all, enjoy each of the moments of your life no matter how much money you have, just do new things on your own and have fun at all times enjoying every second, that is to live, that Yes, it is to feel life in all its magnitude.



The difference between the people who simply exist and those who actually live can be seen even in their faces. those that exist are almost always with the expression empty and boring, while those who live category are almost always happy and expressive face.



It is very sad to see the people who suffer for things that are not worth it, to see many people who pursue superficial things, things that in the end will be destroyed, they will be spent, and they do not look for things that make them feel more alive, happier. .



So clearly there is a big difference between living and existing ..



I live every day and you? do you exist or do you live?
