Everybody dies.

But, does anybody really know how to live? When do you know? How do you know?

i guess living is when you make the best out of what you have and learn to be happy when you should be sad or something living is all that plus living is giving the needy , and i do think family is important ^_^

If you go through life with a smile on your face, and put smiles on the faces of people you meet, then you are officilly living life! I guess you just know inside. Also, if you are really living life, you don’t question it.
Its like the opposite of dreaming. If you have to ask yourself “Am I dreaming?” then you most likely are! If you have to ask yourself “Am I living?” then your proberly not. That or you just question everything :P

To live is to reach the pinnacle of self actualization. Once you know your Self, and you are whole… you join a brotherhood of Oneness. Then now is all that exists for you… then right and wrong cease to be moral choices, but rather only a definition of days gone by.

I’ve read recently something that was profound in it’s simplicity and I’m sorry, I cannot remember who wrote it; “When you come into this world usually in a hospital room there are friends and family all around… you come in crying while everyone else is smiling. The goal is to leave with everyone else crying and YOU smiling.

Awesome quote. Though I’d prefer to make some tasteless joke about my own death and leave my loved ones laughing as I go!

“Does anybody really know how to live? When do you know? How do you know?”
when you are born you are taught how to live and survive but no one teaches you about death, how you cope with it and why it happens and it is a part of living.

You just gotta go through life trying your best and taking risk, so you wont have regrets, but the best way to live life, is to not worry about the end of it!

i had a time (6 months) when i went to bed and couldn’t sleep cause i started thinking about death and it freaked me out. i got such a bad panicattack i had ro run up and read something, do something just anything to keep my thoughts away from death. this came back every night for half a year. I was terrified. But as i think about it later, i think death is something we’re scared of because it’s pretty much the only think we can’t know anything about and we don’t know what will happen when we take our last breath. And also i think i was in panic because i was afraid i wouldn’t have time to fulfill my dreams. The worst part i think, is to leave the ones you love behind when you die. That freakes me out! Anyone felt the same?

Yeah totally! I’ve made a ton of decisions based on the fact that I don’t want to disapoint my family and close friends, so leaving them behind would kill me (excuse the pun). I sometimes imagine what they’d go through if I did die, admitedly I only think about it at low points in my life. Its very freaky!
Death is too scary to think about usually.As humans we love knowledge, I myself crave knowledge! In my opinion its the not knowing that makes death so universally feared. What does everyone think?

This is my reply to another post that got me thinking about this. I added some more:
The mere fact that you are alive is worth the life that you have. Living? Some people don’t know how to live. I know what is like to be abused as a child. I lived it. It was those days when I thought my life was not worth living. I used to yearn for the love of my parents who were not around to love me and protect me. Thank God I lived through all those horrors and abuses. And that is why today I think that children smiling at me makes this life that I have worth living. If and when you realize that you are what matters and you are who really should drive you to keep on living and breathing and enjoying the air and oxygen, then your life is worth living. Some people take life too lightly. The smoke to excess, the drink to excess, the fornicate to excess, and just about overdo everything that feels good because they think they are not going to be here tomorrow and they don’t die. That is the funny part. Other people die on their way to the bathroom and that is even funnier. All life should be taken seriously and that is why your life is worth living. Some people spend their lives making money and more money but they never really enjoy it by themselves or with their family members. So what is the purpose of making all the money in the world if they cannot really enjoy the fruits of their labor? Your life could be gone in a millisecond in the blink of an eye. You need to set up your priorities for your life and how you can dedicate the most time to your loved ones. Your children make your life worth living because you have somebody who drives you to keep on trudging through this life. Your life is serious business. It is what you have to offer to those around you for them to sometimes keep on going with their own lives. The continuity of your own life and legacy should keep you going. Sometimes when we think we have people who don’t love us or respect us, we want to say that our life is not worth living. But, you know what? Even then your life is worth living. It’s worth living because it’s your life. Your life still a life! Keep on living! Keep on breathing this air and oxygen with your life that will continue to be full of possibilities and hopes and dreams. Don’t give up. Someone betrays you, you keep on going! Someone does not love you, you keep on living and loving others if necessary! Someone rejects you, you move on to the next person who won’t! All the disillusionments and disappointments that you can have in your life are to be conquered and they shall pass. When you think that your worst moment and disappointment are here and you cannot keep going because of them, that will not be it. They will just be tests to harden you up for you to actually endure worse times and worse rejections and disappointments. And you will still keep going. Don’t live for other people. Live for yourself. You just have to learn how to live and make the most of your life. You will die eventually, and when you do you will know that you lived your life to the fullest and enjoyed it the most you could enjoy it. When you go bunje jumping and your adrenaline is rushing through your body and you feel the exiliration and joy of being able to do that. When you see a sunrise and can actually breathe the morning air and enjoy it and be able to smile because you can do that. Or when you see a beautiful sunset and know that you made the most of that day and were at your most productive and even if you weren’t. When you make love to the person that you love and can actually say that you made love to them because you love them and they love you back. We all die. And, sometimes we are already dead while walking around because we don’t love anybody and nobody loves us but we are still looking for that love that we think that we deserve. Everybody dies. We don’t all know how to live. Once you realize that then your life is worth living and you realize that you actually know how to live your life. Because…Everybody dies.

I think truly living is not about loving one person. It’s about loving loads….maybe everyone, in some form or another.
I believe our purpose in life is to make this world better for everyone else who will follow, but also for ourselves whilst we live in it. We are the sum of our actions.
If i can change the world - if i keep believing that i can and keep trying to change the world, then i will always be truly living.
It’s about finding beauty in places you don’t expect; trying to see good in everyone and trying to understand more, keeping as open a mind as you can.
Trying each day to make yourself a more accommodating person.
When i die…i don’t mind if no-one’s there, i can cope if no-one cries. But i want to die knowing i changed the world a little bit for the better and that, because of me, other people are living better lives, even if they don’t know i did it.

A very unusaul way to ask three questions.

1. does anybody really know how to live?
My simple answer, do the best you can to live your life in helping your self and all others to the best of your abbilities.

2.When do you know?
My simple answer. When others tell you you helped them and when people come and ask you to help them.

3. How do you know?
My simple answer. When you are generally happy and contented with your life.

To finish up with, when you die, it might be just worth while that one managed to influence some one else to travel this path, in their own life.

Live with no regrets. That’s how I live. If I make a mistake, I admit it, learn from it, and move on. And that’s the best way to live.

living is an instinct. like loving. you don’t need to learn to love, and you don’t need to learn to live. you just need to listen to your heart. ;)

People who seem to travel or explore alot, seem to be happier? Maybe it’s because they are glad to get home and share their experiences:)

I think to live a truly worthwhile life, you have to be able to justify the choices you’ve made. That, or find forgiveness for the mistakes you’ve made. If you can do that, chances are you have helped a hell of a lot of people on the way, and will leave the world a better place for it. If everyone lived that way, we’d have Utopia in no time =)
An impossible dream, but a dream nonetheless!
