What constitutes living?
is it rising each morning with breath in your body
being able to eat and drink or having thoughts racing through your mind. These are the basic needs to survive, but to live is quite different.
To live you must love and lust. You need to fear and befriend. Cry and cuddle. soothe and shout. Hate and Hear. To live you must fall and regain balance, be pushed and stand tall. Breakdown in tears and dry them, ache fully and continue strong. Be disregarded and still listen, respect the disrespectful and like the disliked.
Life is its own metaphor. To have a life is to be living. But most the world is only breathing, not experiencing. Our universe is controlled by the living dead.
