Not Everyone lives

The fact of life is, when you strip everything right down to the very core, every man dies in the end.

Like that famous quote or song line

Nobody gets out alive

This applies to every single person, no exemption. No one can escape that fate which eventually befalls us all, irrespective of whether they are poor or rich, strong or weak, young or old, good or bad. This is part of the natural cycle of life and has been this way since forever. Being creeped out by that idea, or trying to repress it from your thoughts are common perception and attitude towards death, but it still doesn't change the reality. That is the only certainty in life, an end.

But not everyone lives. Quite the opposite rather. When we talk about living it's not just about breathing or walking or eating. Living has to do with feeling and experiencing life to its fullest.

It is about doing things that either make us happy, make us proud or make us excited and that at the end we're satisfied with a life well lived. Living means caring about something, caring about people and all of our world and also paying the price to make things better than you came to meet it. Most of us simply get through life. We sleep, eat, work, then we start all over once again the next day till we grow old and die. In other words, we're simply existing.

Living is much more complex as compared to simply existing. It calls for courage, the courage to risk. The courage to make life altering decisions and courage to impact your generation. Some are afraid of making a mistake or being rejected and so they end up never taking action. They never leave their comfort zone. Instead of speaking from their heart and bringing our their deepest desires, they do not say anything.

Don't be that person, don't exist, live.
