Are we living?

      Human existence is way hard to express in mere words, we have five senses,206 bones,4 limbs, nearly 1.5 gallons of blood and a single heart and a brain still we couldn’t figure out in which particular place do our life within us. This is very tricky question which gave life to First human and it will give life to the last life in the Mother earth based on their interpretation and perspectives on life. The same question gave life to God and Demon. Like it is said “Mind is the excellent servant and the terrible master”. Our interpretation and perspective creates the way to our thoughts and beliefs indeed.

Survival and living ,often mis-interpreted, misunderstood by most Humans. Human is the only living creature with extraordinary ability of thinking, but often this ability is misused by thinking of unreal things or by inability to provide grip to our own thoughts. It is very obvious that only people who are alive can think and dead people can’t think.

Coming to survival,Basic needs of human :We all must know this term and we all are very clear that only existing humans must possess all of these needs to lead a life.Also there are many progressive thinkers  lately redefined these needs and strategized the into a hierarchical pyramid of those needs in a constructive way.

Maslow’s hierarchy possess five levels of needs of Living humans, which is more deep and constructive interpretation ,it is detailed as when the man’s level of needs fulfilled he often tends to step into next zone of needs which is very important in everyone’s life but in today’s world this is often mis-conceptualized and belonging to a certain group or community, possessing a social status is often glorified as coolness quotient.

For instance, Love and relationships are just one of the needed part of life ,that doesn’t mean that it is the most essential part and prioritizing it as the most important and valuable thing to possess ,discriminating and commenting people whose priorities are just bit different from others has become a common practice ,this is the wrong ideology of evaluating the hierarchy of human needs. Also we might heard of a thing called Social status, reputation among people which explains the 4th segment of Maslow’s hierarchy under esteem. It is very obvious that man is a social animal, we all lived in groups since the first man on earth, the reason behind living in groups was mainly to protect everyone of the group despite of all odds ,later these things began to mis-conceptualized to due to human errors and the high of these things later  made them to believe that belonging to certain group should be considered as a privileged one among others and others should should be discriminated in every means. The elimination this kind of narrow thinking leads a way to better lives to all people.

In case of living ,it falls in exactly a different phase of survival, also the extreme part of self-actualization(it doesn’t mean that sitting under a damn tree for years and years).It is more about living one and only for ourselves despite all odds, escaping the grandfather paradox. It is certain that we all are tuned in a way that even our life decisions are being either influenced by the society or made by others. The whole group, community thing was to lead our life but it is now portrayed as the enemy of fellow humans which is actually a true indeed. When we are able to get rid of ourselves from this nuance structure of devastation we’ll be able to live our own life. Contrarily, living doesn’t implies that living for ourselves is a life full of happiness and joy. The ideology of living is somewhat odd as it look naturally in our vision like I earlier said Human’s often mis-interpret and misunderstand concepts. Being happy doesn’t make happy unless you win out of hardest thing which makes sad and depressed(backwards law).Also it doesn’t mean escaping from responsibilities and leading a peaceful life ,it is more about priorities which we make, doing things which really makes us feel alive.

We all might have heard of a saying that “World is a stage of a play, and we all humans are actors indeed” but are we supposed to act or live?

And whole point is

“All living is survival

But not all survival is living”
