We all exist, but we don't all live. If you want to live, then you need to get out and experience life... that kind of sounded like a threat lol. What I meant to say is if you want to feel ALIVE, then you need to get out and do stuff. However, you may be satisfied sitting on your ass all day making sure you stay at the top of the leaderboard on CreateDebate or whatever. I always think of it like this; when I become an old man, I want to be able to look back on my life and feel like I didn't waste it. I want to have good stories to tell.

To me, existing means living automatically: short, existing occurs when a robot would do anything different at our place. Living, on the contrary, means reaching the uniqueness in life, the top, where Reason walks at your side, and creativity leads the way. It means not to be happy: in fact, it is not a difference between happiness and sadness. It is more a difference between reason and cleverness. In truth, the more you are clever the less you are alive. Think about that.

The soul is that in which we exist, while the spirit is that in which we live or die.

Hold a pen in your hand and ask if it exists. It does. But is it alive? Well, I bet most wouldn't say so.

Well a stardard way of putting it is that almost everything in our physical and possibly spiritual realm exists but not everything is living. Although everything that lives exists. For example. A rock exists, however it does not live or possess the qualities of life. A human both exists and lives (hopefully).

My cellphone exists but it's not alive. I exist and I am alive. I don't think so that something can be alive but not existing.

I guess to exist, you have to have an idea that people associate with you, where as to live you just need to follow the scientific necessities of life.

This is like asking some one; What is the difference between earning an income and drawing a paycheck? To the person that works their ass off, there is a huge difference. To the person who merely does the minimum just to get a paycheck, there is none.
