Just a question I thought I'd ask. It's something I've been dwelling on for the past couple of days, so I figured I could get some opinions from the pandas! Remember, there are no right or wrong answers!

the general answer is one is proactive (living) and one is passive (existing). To live one must exist. However, it is possible for a thing to exist without living. Rocks exist but do not live (as we understand living). A person can be said to exist but not live when their lives have been arrested of movement (progress) from fear, from laziness, illness or life circumstances.

(Hope this doesn't double post) to me, you existing is the same as living. You are born to be the witness to your own unfolding life, your own story. I believe that's the purpose of everyone's life, to simply be exactly who they are. And love.

A living thing needs to have the 5 senses. An existing thing is anything made out of atoms.

Living is when you react to something, eat/drink, basically everything we do today. Existing is just being there. Whether you’re dead or not no matter what you exist.

Existing is just taking up space. Living however, means you are moving, thinking, making mistakes, laughing, crying, feeling, falling in love, and making something of your existence.
