Yes, you are quite right, alot of people are just existing with no aims, objectives or purpose in life. I pray to become a better daily.

Very true. There is a big difference between living and existing, but most people don’t even realize it.

This quote is right, most of us just exist for our survival. Until we start living to make impact, we just as good as nothing

This is so true, most people are just existing. We strive in life to be at peace, to live, some people get it right while some don’t.

Nice quote, Tom. The posture of Oscar is just a funny pose.

Very wise quote. Many people exist but very few actually live.

Bold statement. I agree. The real risk takers are the ones that challenge themselves to constantly learn and try new experiences. To really take on life, you have to step above normality.
Louis
To live means to experience every aspect of life and enjoy it fully. Anything else is just existing.
Shantel
We only have one life. It’s best to live it to the best of our ability.

It’s best to live every moment and not simply exist. Wonderful quote indeed.

A great quote by Oscar Wilde. He was such a wise man!
Sylvia
Indeed many people rarely live. Simply breathing doesn’t mean living!

It is not really rare per say but to me it is SPECIAL. I always see it as our journey is our own greatest magic of all. To those out there value it because fact is some people are going through hell and will give anything just to get it. Do not waste the chance you have been given.

It is really hard to know your purpose in life. That’s why a lot of people just exist but still never had lived their life yet.
Troy Elliot
I totally agree with this. I, myself, couldn’t tell if I’m already living my own life.

To only exist is to live without knowing your mission or purpose in life. Thanks for sharing this quote.

It is sad to think that people nowadays only choose to exist. Living is something that they realize would be too late to do so at the end of their life’s journey.

Most of us don’t live our lives to the fullest. We just wake up, eat, work and not even having fun. Just basically a daily routine.
