The living is doing endless things - doing things you've always wanted to do - fulfilling your dreams, chasing them and doing whatever it takes to catch them.
Existing, on the other hand, is merely breathing and doing the daily chores. I personally feel that the biggest difference in living and existing is the amount of control you have in your life, on your emotions. Emotions have a big role to play in this. Someone who exists lets emotions such as fear and anger dictate what they can and can’t do. Someone who is living understands those emotions, controls them and doesn’t let them interfere with their decisions. It's an elaborate process - it has a beginning, middle and the end - all of which are equally inevitable. Existing, on the other hand, is like a long survival - no stages, just one process where you breathe and you survive.
You've probably seen people in ages 40-50-60, some of them say that I'm not satisfied with my life, I didn't get what I wanted,... So here is the difference between existing and living.
Living means enjoying your life, doing things that you like, being happy, having someone to love, to be loved, not wasting your time in the present for feature (some people say If I become this If I become that, I'll be happy, I'll be OK, but I can assure you, when you don't enjoy present, you're going to have problems with tomorrow). To exist, you simply follow the actions, like a robot.
Thank you!!
